I have a relative who was CRAZY who had a certain name... and then I met two other people with that same name, and they were super crazy too.
Then a major hurricane hit and sure enough, it had the same name. I'm telling ya, all people with this name are just plain crazy! Or at least, incredibly destructive.
Are there some names that you believe are cursed?

I haven't thought about it before but DH has an aunt with the same name as the hurricane and she is a little crazy too!

None from personal experience. But I would probably say it's a good idea for everyone to avoid Adolf.

Thinking about it, my mum has the same name as a recent-ish hurricane and she's crazy, too.

@mrbee: Are you gonna let us in on what the name was?? =P
My sister and I were joking that not many would name their child Lucifer, or Cain! Bwahahaha.

As an elementary teacher, I definitely notice, um, trends amongst certain names!

There's a name that my mom swears is skanky - as in every girl that has it is, well, a skank. Lol!

My brother is named after my mom's cousin who died young. She was murdered by her boyfriend, her sister found her hanging. My mom was pretty scared when my brother reached the age that she died.
Now my brothers lo has her eyes. My mom won't tell him that though. Personally I don't think it's a curse.... in our religion we name after deceased relatives.

@cranberryapple: Too funny, I had a Cain my first year of teaching middle school and he was the nicest boy who was incredibly smart to boot. I always thought to myself that if I ever have a son, I hope he turns out like Cain. I will admit though, I was nervous when I saw his name on my class register before the first day of school!
And yes, I definitely think there are trends. There is a very common boy's name that I have come across many times in teaching and social work and I swear, every single one of them was an absolute terror. I automatically cringe now when I hear of somebody with this name as I just can't associate any positive words to people with that name!

Here is an interesting site of all future hurricane names in the Atlantic. Just so ya know.
Also there is a name that means warrior in English and those kids are terrors! I would name a hypothetical pit bull that name but that's it.

@808love: Oh dear, I'm on the list for 2013, DH is on the 2016 list, and DD is on the 2017 list. Our boy's name, had DD been a boy, is also on the 2016 list. What does that say about our family?!?! Lol...

@Ree723: that you have great taste in names and that hurricane names are not cursed evidently.

@Sammyfab: Haha! I don't think she even knows what a skank is! She calls them "malandi" it means (according to an online dictionary): scandalously flirtatious!
@mrbee: Olive is def safe - it's not even close

Well thank goodness nobody in our family is on the hurricane list 
on another note, hurricane names are sometimes funny. Hurricane Bill doesn't sound that scary.
And now I want to know what the names are! I won't get offended if my name's one of them I'm not a skank, but I am crazy.

Yes. There are three boy names that I swear are cursed. Every child I've had that's had one of those names has been SO naughty and/or crazy!

Ha ha. Not that I think Hubs' name is cursed or anything, BUT a few years ago we went through a really rough patch (this was 2 years before we were even married) where we broke up and I moved out of the house....it was a huge mess. His nickname is Ike (which has to do with his last name, not his first). That same year, Hurricane Ike hit our area. It rained like crazy for 2 days straight and caused a fair amount of chaos. At the time, it seemed so completely appropriate.
In response to the original question, no, I don't think names are cursed. I work in a hospital and I can meet a completely off-their-rocker person one day, and meet someone with the same name the next day who is totally sweet and sane and normal. I couldn't think of one name that I could definitely say, "Yes, they are all nuts."
