Hurricanes have not always had names. In 1953 the National Hurricane Center began generating lists of names for each hurricane in a given season. Since that time all hurricanes have had names.

No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
The next to Atlantic tropical storms will be named Gaston and Hermine.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are both named. Hurricanes have more detailed and already thought of names, while tropical storms aren't as important.
In North America, names were given to tropical storms that became hurricanes in the 1950s. At the time, all the names dispensed were female names. Male names were added in 1979. This process of naming tropical storms and hurricanes facilitated communication of the storms' paths across various regions.
Hurricanes are given names to aid in communication and to differentiate them from one another. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains a list of names for tropical cyclones in different regions. The names on the list are chosen in alphabetical order, are gender-neutral, and alternate between masculine and feminine names. This helps to make identification and tracking of hurricanes easier and more efficient. Leslie is just one of the many names on the list.
