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

In SciFi, EVERY ship called The Icarus disappears/ gets destroyed.
Also the icarus project from sgu, accursed of a show as it was.
I know exactly what to name my futurism inspired submersible to view the Titanic!
I mean I know about Icarus, and I’ve seen this in a scifi show, but didn’t realize it was a trope.

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.

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.
Me want to reclaim the fancy looking cross but people are still pieces of shit so I can’t
Should have told Hubert Blaine Wolfe+575 about his actual first name
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…
Saw a meme the other day saying the Titanic sank and the Titan sank: beware the Tit
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

Everything named Concord crashed and burned as a result of overconfidence.
The pun was intentional, yes
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.
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

Epstein. 'Nuff said. There’s even a herpesvirus.
And Douglas. This may just be in my life. Nonetheless, it is what it is.
