hurricanes are named by the national weather services
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.
A proposed name change for Hurricanes by Roxcy Bolton, who was responsible for having the National Weather Service and the World Meteorological Association to add male names to the list of hurricane names. She thought hurricane was sexist as it sounded like "her-icane." The proposal was ultimately rejected.
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.

Currently hurricanes are named by the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva. They have 6 lists kept in rotation that are used to name any hurricanes that happen during the year.
