The protagonist in "Storm Boy" is given the nickname by an Aboriginal man named Fingerbone Bill due to his close connection with nature, particularly birds. The name reflects the boy's fascination and special relationship with the natural world, including his ability to weather life's challenges like a storm.
Storm Boy's real name is Mike.
Storm Boy, by Colin Thiele, was set in the Coorong of South Australia.

Pretty sure he's called Storm, although I think I heard somewhere that 'Lightning' and 'Storm' are only code names, I'm not sure. He's called Snow Villiers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy_XIII#Snow_Villiers)

Mr. Percival is a pelican in the novel "Storm Boy" by Colin Thiele. He becomes a close companion to the main character, Storm Boy, and plays a significant role in the story's themes of friendship and conservation. The bond between Mr. Percival and Storm Boy teaches important lessons about empathy and the interconnectedness of all living things.
The names alternate; one storm is given a boy's name, the next a girl's name. They also alternate from year to year, if the first storm is going to receive a boy's or a girl name ( the first storm of 2012 was named Alberto, and the first storm of 2013 will be named Andrea).
There is an order to how storms are named. I am not sure how the exact name is picked, but I do know that every season the names begin with "A" all over again. Every other storm is a boy's name and every other storm is a girl's name. There is always one boy's name and one girl's name for every letter. Here is an example: storm 1: Andrew storm 2: Andrea storm 3:Brendan storm 4: Brenda storm 5: Christian storm 6: Christina and so on.....
