I recognize the humor in your question - gave me a chuckle, anyway ;-). But there is really a for-real explanation and answer, provided courtesy of the NOAA/US government and the World Meteorological Organization to your burning question! :-)
There are Atlantic names and Pacific names. The Pacific actually has 3 subdivided lists of name: Eastern, Central, Western. John is on the Eastern Pacific list; Ernesto is on the Atlantic list; Super Typhoon Ioke is on the Central North Pacific list.
