.... Perhaps there already is a European system and perhaps 23 depressions
had already been named this year before Xynthia.

Not perhaps - certainly. But the system is German, not European. The
names are given by the Free University of Berlin. I am not sure if there
is any formal agreement to use the German names - probably it has just
become customary in some other countries.

These are the names used so far this year
