Why does the Arabian Sea not have a tropical cyclone naming system?

Names like Tropical Cyclone Five is not good enough for current times.

    Tropical Cyclones are very rare in the Arabian Sea, When they form outside the area, in the Northern Indian Ocean, they are named by the Indian meteorological office. Tropical Cyclone "Gonu" of 2007 was one such named tropical cyclone. Tropical Cyclone names are used for ease of identification. When you have many TCs, as they do in the Atlantic Ocean (called "hurricanes there"), names are important. When you only have a very few small ones, numbering them is just as efficient as naming them.

    Because cyclones is a land disaster caused my wind created by warm air colliding with cold air and
    in the states it called a tornado and we have a lot of them,I live in the tornado alley in Woodward Ok.
    the weather reporting system in America uses the name system for ocean storms for the islands
    and major countries. this doesn’t include the met or Arabian as they have there on weather reporting system
