In the north Atlantic basin, subtropical cyclones were initially named from the [[ICAO spelling alphabet|NATO phonetic alphabet]] list in the early to mid-1970s.<ref name = "NHC1972"/>  In the intervening years of 1975–2001, subtropical storms were either named from the traditional list and still was considered tropical in real-time, or used a separate numbering system instead. Between 1992 and 2001, two different numbers were given to subtropical depressions or subtropical storms, one for public use, the other one for NRL and NHC reference. For example, [[Hurricane Karen (2001)|Hurricane Karen]] in 2001 was initially known as Subtropical Storm One as well as AL1301 (or 13L for short).<ref>James Franklin (2001).

From 2002 onward, Subtropical Depression 13L would be known as Subtropical Depression Thirteen instead. [[Hurricane Gustav (2002)|Hurricane Gustav of 2002]] was the first subtropical storm to receive a name but became tropical shortly after naming. [[Subtropical Storm Nicole (2004)|Subtropical Storm Nicole]] from the [[2004 Atlantic hurricane season]] was the first subtropical storm that did not become tropical since the policy change. A subtropical storm from the [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season]] also did not become tropical, but was not named since it was not recognized until post-season analysis.<ref>Jack Beven and Eric S.

In the southern Indian Ocean, subtropical cyclones are also named once winds reach tropical storm or [[gale]] force.<ref name="WMO2006">World Meteorological Organization (2006).

Since 2011, subtropical storms in the western south Atlantic Ocean are named by the [[Brazilian Navy|Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Normas Da Autoridade Marítima Para As Atividades De Meteorologia Marítima |url=http://www.mar.mil.br/dhn/dhn/downloads/normam/normam_19.pdf |publisher=Brazilian Navy |access-date=6 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206213534/http://www.mar.mil.br/dhn/dhn/downloads/normam/normam_19.pdf |archive-date=6 February 2015 |language=pt |date=2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
