The name Samantha does not appear on any lists of current hurricane names. The only way for the name Samantha to be used is if a storm with a female name starting with S is bad enough to have that name retired. This probably won't happen any time soon as few hurricane season make it as far as S (storms are named in alphabetical order) and the S name for this year is male.
