There will be so much confusion if Cyclone aren't differentiated with proper names. Why because there will be a minimum of 2-3 cyclones every year. Without naming, It's gets quite difficult for the media to report the news and even public will be in a confused state. So, Countries around Bay Of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian Ocean has decided to name every cyclone to improve ease of communication.
From where did names like Hudhud, Titli and Phethai come from? World Meteorological Organization (WHO), who's headquarters is in Geneva of Switzerland, is affiliated to United Nations.

So, Nobody could remember those cyclones.
In 2004, Nations affected by Bay Of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian Ocean assembled to discuss about the issue. About 8 names were suggested by each country (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Myanmar, Omen, Sri Lanka and Thailand). Altogether, There were 64 names.
