Everything named Concord crashed and burned as a result of overconfidence.
And then the Titanic and OceanGate Titan sank despite being “unsinkable”.

The pun was intentional, yes
Every teacher has their own list of “absolutely never” names for future offspring. The amount of overlap is surprising
I feel like there has never been any good Jonathans, Aidens, Jacksons, Tyrees, Katies, Katrinas, Isaiahs, or Catherines. And any name that’s hyphenated with Ann.
to add to the data points I’ve known 3 lovely Katies and 2 awful ones
Changes from country to country, I suppose. I’m not even a teacher, but I know damn well Samuel is an absolute no. Most other biblical names also tend to rate highly on the “DON’T” list.
In SciFi, EVERY ship called The Icarus disappears/ gets destroyed.
I know exactly what to name my futurism inspired submersible to view the Titanic!
Also the icarus project from sgu, accursed of a show as it was.
Elon, Musk, Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Bush, Reagan, Lehman, Ford, Rockefeller, Cook, Bezos, Parkinson, Tourette.
We didn’t start the fire…
They didn’t ask for your Lemmy filter…
Damien, Jason, Freddie
What is wrong with Freddie? He was an amazing singer.
Adolf
I went to school with a kid named Adolph. As an adult and learning more about his family, it was an homage.
Teacher: Oh wow I’m so impressed society is finally trying to reclaim that name after such a dark past.
Parents: No no, we’re actually fans of the dark past.
Ford, Jeep, Chevy.
I have an unrelated theory that places with “pleasant” or “friendship” in their name, are former sites of some horrible historic event.
Boeing
Blessica
Blimpson
Blursica
Everyone I know named Napoleon was responsible for the loss of the Battle at Waterloo, so I’d say that’s a cursed name.
I take it you don’t know about Napoleon II and III? Or even Napoleon Dynamite?
Never heard of them
Idk that anyone ever called the Titan submarine “unsinkable”.
Stockton Rush was acting like it’s invincible and “You’re remembered for the rules you break”. But yeah, it’s meant to sink lmao
Amanda Lynn, unless you like musical instruments.
Epstein. 'Nuff said. There’s even a herpesvirus.
And Douglas. This may just be in my life. Nonetheless, it is what it is.
Saw a meme the other day saying the Titanic sank and the Titan sank: beware the Tit
Any last name as a first name. You know Parker, Ford, Taylor, Mason and McKenzie
For a few years, it seemed like everyone I knew who has having a little girl was naming them after old presidents.
So many Kennedys and Reagans and Madisons…
My girlfriend at the time did really like “Madison”, but I told her if we were ever to have a little girl and we’re gonna name her after a former president, we’re gonna have a little Eisenhower running around.
She laughed (as was the intention) but agreed the trend was a little ridiculous.
