Everything named Concord crashed and burned as a result of overconfidence.

And then the Titanic and OceanGate Titan sank despite being “unsinkable”.

    Epstein. 'Nuff said. There’s even a herpesvirus.

    And Douglas. This may just be in my life. Nonetheless, it is what it is.

      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

      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.

    Everyone I know named Napoleon was responsible for the loss of the Battle at Waterloo, so I’d say that’s a cursed name.

    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.

      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.
