Yes. Names used by the National Hurricane Center are re-used on a rotating 6-year cycle. As an example, while most people know of Hurricane Irene in 2011, the name was also used for a hurricane in 2005. If a storm is particularly bad the name will be retired, meaning that no future storms will get that name.
