No. Tornadoes are not named like hurricanes are. Many tornadoes can be referred to by the town or state that they hit, such as the Tri-State tornado or the Joplin tornado.
Do you mean the National Weather Service giving tornadoes male names and hurricanes female names? If so, the answer is no. Hurricanes are named from lists that are compiled of a name starting with each letter of the alphabet and alternating in gender. Tornadoes do not get names at all.
Naming started in 1950. The current naming system, though, was not established until 1979.

No, there are no sirens specifically for hurricanes. The primary methods of receiving warnings for hurricanes are through weather alerts on radios, TVs, smartphones, or the National Weather Service issuing alerts. It is important to stay informed through these channels and have a plan in place in case of a hurricane.
The National Hurricane Center, which is part of the National Weather Service, disseminates coastal watches and warnings for tropical storms and hurricanes in the United States.
