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

Saw a meme the other day saying the Titanic sank and the Titan sank: beware the Tit
Epstein. 'Nuff said. There’s even a herpesvirus.
And Douglas. This may just be in my life. Nonetheless, it is what it is.
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.
Uh oh, I have 3 first names.

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
In SciFi, EVERY ship called The Icarus disappears/ gets destroyed.
I mean I know about Icarus, and I’ve seen this in a scifi show, but didn’t realize it was a trope.
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.
Every teacher has their own list of “absolutely never” names for future offspring. The amount of overlap is surprising
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.
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
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.

Elon, Musk, Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Bush, Reagan, Lehman, Ford, Rockefeller, Cook, Bezos, Parkinson, Tourette.
They didn’t ask for your Lemmy filter…
We didn’t start the fire…
Boeing
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
