Cyclones are named alphabetically. Originally they were given female names, but now they can be given either male or female names. Cyclones (and hurricanes) are given a random name beginning with whatever letter the meteorologists (who first detect it) are up to, provided the name has not been used previously.
Cyclones also tend to take on a name common to the region where they form. For example, in February 2011, Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi has a Fijian name because it developed in Fijian waters. The cyclone started as a tropical low near Fiji, and when it was upgraded to a cyclone, it was given a Fijian name by the Fiji Meteorological Service.
The 2014 cyclone list of names has 21 names on it. The list is as follows: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.
Yes, cyclones do have. It is just to identify them!
Yes. Typhoons have names just like hurricanes as they are essentially the same thing.
The National Weather board has a list of names each year for storms including cyclones. The storms are named from that list. The names are randomly selected.
i do not the other guy he is stupid
hurricanes are named by the national weather services
No. Cyclones are a special type of storm, and quite different to a "normal" storm.
tsunamis, hurricanes, cyclones, tropical cyclones, floods, bush fires, earthquakes, snow storms, tornados, blizzards
They can be called, hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and willy-willies
Hurricane, Tropical cyclone
tropical storms
The World Meteorological Organization does.

Cyclones, Hurricanes, and Typhoons (different names for the same type of storm) form around low pressure zones above warm ocean water.
Tropical cyclones are named base on what part of the ocean then form in. Different regions are governed by different agencies with their own policies. Each ocean basin has a predetermined list of names. Every time a new system reaches a given intensity it gets the next name on the list. The intensity require for naming depends on what country is in charge of assigning names in a given area.

No. Cyclones are a special type of storm, and quite different to a "normal" storm.
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.

Bushfires do not have names, unlike cyclones and hurricanes.
Such storms are overall called tropical cyclones. They go by different names in different regions. In the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific they are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific they are called typhoons. In the southern Pacific and Indian Oceans they simply are called cyclones.
No. Tornadoes and cyclones are different things. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex within a thunderstorm. Most cyclones are mid-latitude cyclones.
