Tornadoes are not given names, hurricanes are. Tornadoes are often referred to by where they occur though. Since the one tornado that occurred in New Jersey in 2010 hit Ocean County you could refer to it as the Ocean County tornado. You could also call it the New Egypt tornado since it occurred near that town.

Did a tornado hit Wood-Ridge New Jersey in November 1955 or 1956?

There do not appear to be any records of tornadoes hitting New Jersey in November 1955 or 1956. However, at this time the majority of weak tornadoes were missed. So it is quite possible that such a tornado occurred, one that would be rated F0 or F1 had it been recorded, but never was surveyed by the National Weather Service.
