There are two main reasons. First, there are simiply too many of them. In an average year the United States experiences more than 1,200 tornadoes, far to many to be acommadated by any naming system. Second, unlike tropical storms, which can be easily tracked as they occur, tornadoes form and disspate quickly, and it can take several days of surveying damage to determine if an event was one or several tornadoes, or if it was a tornado at all.
