Tropical cyclones are named base on what part of the ocean then form in. Different regions are governed by different agencies with their own policies. Each ocean basin has a predetermined list of names. Every time a new system reaches a given intensity it gets the next name on the list. The intensity require for naming depends on what country is in charge of assigning names in a given area.
