Hurricanes get named, Tornadoes do not. Tornadoes get a classification rating from F0 to F5* depending on the damage they produce (an indicator of wind intensity). Some are identified by occurrence ("the Kansas City tornado of 1986"), but they are not given a specific name. In the US, the "Enhanced Fujita Scale" is used, with ratings from EF0 to EF5. Additionally, there have been tens of thousands of tornadoes recorded; it would be impossible to list them all here.
