What's the proper name for curly brackets? {Anyone know?}

Braces (I believe).

Accolades (at least in dutch that is ;))

Square Brackets
[ ]
Curley Brackets
{ }

Curly braces, not brackets.

hehe.. I guess that URL tends to Disprove my point. But I'll still call them curly braces. :p

But is a redundancy for Braces. ;)

Read your sources more carefully OnError :p
"The term curly braces is redundant since that is the only kind of braces there are." (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia actually says that curly braces is wrong, it should just be braces.

I think OnErr0r was pointing out the word bracket that you used was wrong. Geez.

I have seen two ways of describing grouping punctuation, the verbose way and the bracket way:

{}=braces=curly brackets
[]=brackets=square brackets
()=parentheses=round brackets
<>=?=angle brackets

I personally prefer the verbose way because I don't draw them in a particularly 'curly' fashion :P
