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.

You can't have two (or more) hurricanes at the same time in the same place. Even if you did superimpose two different weather systems on top of eachother, the result would still be one weather system, or in this case, one hurricane. You can, however, have three hurricanes at the same time in different places.
