Last thing I knew, our naming of tropical storms/hurricanes was left on a female O name. Why are we on a female H instead?

Quite simply, the storms are in separate parts of the world. As far as the Atlantic basin, we are in deed on TS Ophelia- http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atla…
In the East Pacific basin, they have TS Hilary- http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/e_pa…
The names for tropical cyclones come from lists made by the World Meteorological Organization's Tropical Cyclone Programme. These lists are made with input from WMO member countries. They maintain separate lists for each region of the world. Here is a link with more information: http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/St…
