Fion is definitely-probably 'hawk' in Quenya, but I'm not sure what 'huro' is meant to be... for 'storm', you'd want raumo (the sound of a storm) or ucco (rain, with etymological links to 'bull' - so probably heavy). If you want 'Hawk from the storm', you'd use an ablative ending -llo, which gives Fionraumollo/Fionuccollo (that looks kind of faux-Italian). You could also have 'Hawk of the storm'/'Storm's hawk', which would take the genetive, which vanishes - so Fionraumo/Fionucco (or, indeed, Uccofion/Raumofion). Or the possessive, which gives Fionraumova/Fionuccova.
Out of all of those, probably the most pleasing to Elvish ears is Fionraumo, though Fionucco also works, sort of.
And Sindarin? Well, alagos is 'storm of wind', but there's no known word for 'hawk'... you could be an eagle, but I've done that already. A crow? That's corch, or craban if you want to be an evil one. Or, rather delightfully, you could be a kingfisher, heledir.
Thankfully Sindarin doesn't use cases much, so we can just mash the words together: Corchalagos, Crabalagos, Alagorch, Alagraban [These two because c mutates to g in compounds], or with the kingfisher, Alacheledir, Helediralagos. A lot of those are too long, though - I'd probably go with Alagorch.
... yeah, I'd stick with Quenya, really.
