Hurricane Andrew's name was retired because the storm was very damaging and a killer and because the storm became famous. Therefore it was retired out of respect for those who died and lost their homes and to avoid that storm being confused with others.
There are no names for tornadoes. The name of a hurricane is retired if the storm is particularly devastating.

The storm named Allison never became a hurricane, it was just a tropical storm. A hurricane/tropical storm name is retired if the storm is especially devastating, and Tropical Storm Allison of 2001 caused massive damage from flooding. Because of this no future storm will be named Allison (normally a name is reused every 6 years). So instead the first tropical storm in the Atlantic in 2007 was named Andrea.
Hurricane names are retired by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in a meeting in March, April, or May of each year. Those hurricanes that have their names retired tend to be exceptionally destructive storms that often become household names in the regions they affected. The process of retiring Atlantic hurricane names indefinitely officially began in 1969.Prior to 1969, significant storm names were retired for ten years. Since 1953, an average of one storm name has been retired for each season, though many seasons (most recently 2009) have had no storm names retired, and after the 2005 season, five names were retired.When a storm causes widespread destruction or loss of life, its name is retired, not only to avoid reminding the victims of the horrors they experienced but also to keep the record straight.when they cause to much dammage or seviere tragity
It already has been. So now the 9th tropical storm to occur in the Atlantic in 2016 (if there is a 9th storm) will be named Ian.
