What is the rule on a system crossing from one basin to another and the name? If it keeps the same circulation(from it's EPAC name) while crossing Central America, when it gets into the Atlantic basin, will it's name change to the Atlantic name or stay the same?

If it survives with the same circulation when it crosses CentralAmerica it will retain the name Adrian but if it loses the circulation and forms a new one in the Caribbean Sea it will have the name Arlene.

copied directly from my topic on the same subject:
1. Naming Conventions
Many of you seem confused about the naming conventions, that is, if Adrian crosses over, what will its name be? Under original rules, it would change to Arlene, HOWEVER, these rules were changed in 2001 (Remember, if Iris had maintained its circulation, it would still be Iris in the EPAC).
So what will its name be if it crosses over? That depends:
It will still be ADRIAN if...
It is a TS after emerging
It is a TD after emerging
It still has the same SURFACE LOW exiting as it did entering
It will become ARLENE if...
The surface low dissipates and reforms and the mid level circulation is still intact.
The entire system becomes a wave of low pressure, but reforms in the Caribbean.
