Serious Hurricane Query

(aa) is easy - Aaron
(bb)? - Bb King, I guess
(cc)? - CeeCee Deville? Does this count?
(dd) - well, if CeeCee works, than DeeDee must also, right?
(ee) - I'm stumped.
Do we have hurricanologists working on figuring this out for us yet?

Excerpt:
"Hurricane Alpha? Tropical Storm Epsilon? TV forecasters and coastal residents may have to break out their Greek dictionaries if the Atlantic hurricane season keeps up its frantic pace.
There are only four names left for tropical storms and hurricanes this year: Stan, Tammy, Vince and Wilma. After that, names switch to the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and so on through Omega, if needed.
That has never happened before in roughly 60 years of regularly named Atlantic storms."
Damn, should have STP'd.
