Meteorologists usually name hurricanes when it becomes strong enough. In very rare cases, hurricanes might be nameless. The reason is to avoid confusion with other hurricanes because there might be another hurricane nearby with a different intensity and the everyone needs to know which country needed to be more prepared and the hurricane's intensity may change. If hurricanes are always nameless, it'll get really confusing and we won't know which country needs to be more prepared and that's really dangerous because hurricane is a natural disaster and it can kill people.
