Pól and Barra complete the list of Irish names to make the cut this year
The fifth name on the list is Eunice, in tribute to one of the first climate scientists, Eunice Newton Foote.
This season's list was put together following an appeal for submissions on Twitter earlier this summer.
Head of Forecasting with Met Eireann, Evelyn Cusack says they were flooded with responses.
"People asking for a storm to be named after them, or their children or one of their pets."
The forecaster says naming storms helps to raise awareness of severe weather and aid with citizen safety.
The UK Met Office chose Dudley, Jack and Ruby while the Dutch opted for traditional names including Tineke, Imani and Vergil.
