Is Philip a cursed name? - Any other cursed names?

I'd believe it. I mean, there was a really unlucky Phil that got stuck in the 21st century.


Poor bastard never stood a chance.

If you call having godlike technological powers at your disposal in a time where nobody else has them and also having a hot blonde that's super into you unlucky then you must've never had an unlucky day in your life.
 
The best example of a cursed name surely has to be Adolf.

I doubt anyone here can think of a better example of a name that parents avoid like the plague when deciding what to call their children, and it can't just be because of the negative association either, because there are plenty of names that are shared by some very horrible people that are still popular with parents to this day (like Joseph, for instance, a name shared by both Stalin and Goebbels, who were arguably just as evil as Hitler, if not more).

Zach, specifically with an H, is the most cursed name I've come across. Whenever I meet a Zach it's like playing bingo with mental illnesses and cult affiliations.

Dave is 50/50. There are wonderful blessed Daves that make the world better, or there are absolute fucking shitbag Daves. It's one or the other.

Everyone named Alex is a lolcow (other than Alexander the Great).
I've had the opposite experience, every Alex I know is a really cool person. Of course everyone says Kevin is a cursed name too and I've only met cool Kevins.
 
Well, one of my dearest friends is named Phil, and my favorite musician has always been Phil Ochs, so to me personally, not really.
