A system is given a name when it attains tropical storm or subtropical storm status. The names go in alphabetical order. So for example, if there is a hurricane called hurricane Allen, ( like there was in the past ) the next storm in that basin in that year will go to B, like hurricane Bonnie. However letters not commonly used in names may be excluded. In the Atlantic Ocean the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used. In the eastern Pacific basin Q and U are not used. Each year has a list of names that is recycled every six years. This gives a total of 270 names on that system. A somewhat different system is used for Central Pacific hurricanes which uses 12 names ber year on a 4 year cycle giving a total of 48, bringing the total For hurricane names to 318. In other parts of the world the storms we call hurricanes go by different names such as typhoons. The generic term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. Other basins total to to 523 names, manning that, in total, there are 841 currently available tropical cyclone names. When a storm in bad enough it has its name replaced. And the retired name is, in most cases, never used to name a future storm.
Hurricanes are given names to aid in communication and to differentiate them from one another. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains a list of names for tropical cyclones in different regions. The names on the list are chosen in alphabetical order, are gender-neutral, and alternate between masculine and feminine names. This helps to make identification and tracking of hurricanes easier and more efficient. Leslie is just one of the many names on the list.

No, tornadoes are not named. Unlike hurricanes tornadoes come and go too quickly to be named and there are far to many of them for there to be any semblance of an effective naming system.
