A tropical storm is given a name when it becomes a tropical storm, with winds of at least 39 mph.
When it becomes a tropical storm, or in other words, when winds reach 39 mph.
While all are large storms of tropical nature, their official storm name has to do with its wind speeds. When the storms are in their infant stages as just a general area of low pressure that has the potential to strengthen, they're usually given the name "Tropical Depression" It doesn't get a name like "Betty" or "Donald" just yet, instead, it gets a sequential number, like "Tropical Depression 3." If the storm's peak winds become greater than 39 mph, then it's now a "tropical storm" and it gets a real name from the National Hurricane Center, like "Tropical Storm Barry." If the storm continues to grow and reaches wind speeds over 74 mph, it's then a hurricane, but it keeps its identifying name for continuity sake.
A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm when its sustained wind speeds reach 39 mph or higher. At this point, the system is given a name and is classified as a tropical storm.
It is given its name before in even becomes a hurricane. Storms are named when they reach tropical storm status. Roughly half of all tropical storms become hurricanes.

A hurricane is a "storm with high winds and rain". You might want to be a bit more specific.Or not. Maybe you mean one of "tropical storm", "typhoon", "gale" (though strictly speaking that just means high winds).

Interestingly, the storm Known as Allison never became a hurricane, but peaked as tropical storm with 60 mph winds. A storm must have winds of at least 74 mph to be a hurricane. Despite not being a very strong storm, Allison produce heavy flooding from from rain. It is the only Atlantic storm to have its name retire that did not become a hurricane.

The English name Crete comes from the Greek word for the island, which is Kriti (Kree-tee).
That would most likely be a tornado, but winds usually aren't so fast.
