Probably a few people named their kids after hurricanes, if the kids were born during or almost during the storms. I heard of a lady who gave birth in a storm shelter during Hurricane Isabel and named her baby Isabel, for instance.

But probably most people directly affected by a bad hurricane would not want to name babies after the storm. Nor do I think anybody would naturally assume that a particular baby was named after a storm, unless the name itself was very uncommon and only became widely known due to being the name of a bad storm.
