They did not name a tornado Ike, they named the hurricane Ike. Hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean are named from a list. Each year gets a list of names in alphabetical order. Every time a new tropical storm forms it gets the next name on the list. Ike was the 9th name on the list for 2008, and so the 9th tropical storm was given that name.
There were 126 tornado fatalities in 2008.
