A tropical storm is named when it reaches tropical storm status, this is, when winds reach 39 mph or greater.
39 mph
Yes there has been a hurricane that has been named Victoria but not Tori. But Victoria was just a tropical storm but i still think it was really a hurricane instead of a tropical storm.

As of July 4, 2014, the next Atlantic tropical storm's name will begin with B. The storm will be Bertha. However, storms are named as the reach tropical storm intensity, and only about half of all Atlantic tropical storms become hurricanes, so there is no guarantee that Bertha will be a hurricane.
A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm when sustained winds reach 39 mph or greater.
The tenth named storm of the 2011 season was Tropical Storm Jose.
A storm doesn't have to be a hurricane to be named. A system is named as soon as it becomes a tropical or subtropical storm. About half of all tropical storms become hurricanes.
No. For one thing, tropical depressions aren't named. A system only receives a name when it reaches tropical storm status. Even then, no tropical storm or hurricane has been named Sophia.
The 2005 season had 27 named tropical storm plus an unnamed subtropical storm. Second place goes to 1931, with 21 tropical storms, but this was before storms were named.
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.
No. Tropical Storm Nicole already occurred last year lasting September28-29 of 2010. The storm impacted Cuba and its remnants affected Florida. No other tropical storm will be named Nicole until at least 2016. The next Atlantic tropical storm will be named Harvey, and the next East Pacific storm will be Hilary.
Hurricanes and storms have often been named after Saints, such as San Felipe. To get a tropical storm named after them, one would have to contact the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida, who are the organization who name storms.

39 mph
The first named storm was Ana (tropical storm); the first hurricane was Bill.
No. There is no record of a hurricane or tropical storm named Robin.
Yes there has been a hurricane that has been named Victoria but not Tori. But Victoria was just a tropical storm but i still think it was really a hurricane instead of a tropical storm.
