What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?	comment	Some names, frequently taken from historical events, seem to be jinxed. No one wants to ride on a ship (or a spaceship) named "Titanic" or "Hindenburg". Similarly, anything named "Icarus" is begging for a wing-clipping, and sooner or later, the Goliath is going down hard, probably to a smaller opponent (bonus points if said smaller opponent is named David). Likewise, don't compare your defenses to the walls of Jericho — that'll just make 'em go splat like an ant beneath an elephant's foot (with said ant being you, and said elephant's foot being the wrath of God.) It's probably not a good idea to name your vehicle the Doom Buggy, either, especially if you plan on driving your friends around in it. And if you're assigned to name a computer, let alone a supercomputer, then "Skynet", "Hal", and variations thereof are strictly off limits; after all, what good is a computer if all it wants to do is kill people and/or Take Over the World? And no matter its size or intended role, Colossus and Guardian are also bad choices. Note that it has to be the name of something that has already gone down: The original Hindenburg (named after the German general Paul von Hindenburg, who did not meet any kind of horrible fate) was not an example of this trope (but Titanic arguably was, see the Real Life section below). Compare Names to Run Away from Really Fast, Prophetic Names, I Don't Like the Sound of That Place, and Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?. Related to Analogy Backfire and of course Tempting Fate. Due to the nature of this trope, expect spoilers.

If a few of them are alone and are attacked by numerous smaller units, however, their targeting systems are really bad at prioritization. So a few Zerglings, the game's cheapest units, can bring down an expensive and powerful unit a few times their size. Sound familiar?

ZEXAL; two minor antagonists, Umimi and Tobio, competed in a team duel against Yuma and Anna, with Umimi using a monster named "Supercolossal, Unsinkable Superliner Elegant Titanic" and Tobio using one named "Supercolossal Airship Giant Hindenburg". (They lost the duel, but these two monsters actually did their job rather well; if any card failed, it was the Barian Chaos Xyz that Vector gave them.)

If you pay attention to the TV in the background during one scene, you'll see news coverage of a NASA launch which is called Icarus (implied to be the ship that crash lands in the beginning of the original movie). Sure enough, just a few scenes later, a newspaper headline can be seen proclaiming that the ship has mysteriously vanished, and we all know what happened to it after that.

The Havenite battle plan is code-named Icarus, and one of the commanding officers muses that if he were in charge, he wouldn't have named the plan after the one whose wings fell apart. Strangely, it's one of Haven's most successful operations. It's possible that the "Icarus" in "Operation Icarus" actually referred to the Manticorans. Also: The Solarian League named a series of ships the Joseph Buckley class. They should've known. They probably did â€” given that the scientist himself was well known in-universe for his reckless disregard of common sense. And it gets worse: Every Solarian ship named after Joseph Buckley (and there were quite a few) met bad ends. Several of them were lost to accidents instead of combat. In the Manticore Ascendant novel A Call To Duty, a Manticoran sloop is called Phobos, after one of the moons of Mars,note She and her sister ship, Deimos, were built mostly from the parts of the decommissioned battlecruiser Mars but by extension, also after the Greek personification of fear. The ship proves to be a nightmare for her builders and crew, and meets a disastrous end.

As snopes.com explains, this is pure myth. Not only would a spanish speaker not read "Nova" as "no va" any more than an English speaker would read "Notable" as "no table," not only is nova an actual Spanish word (meaning the same thing as its English cognate), the real kicker is that there's no failure for this supposed naming goof to explain. The Nova sold just fine in Latin America.

In addition, out of the two Roman brothers, guess which one died (killed by his twin, even) when you have to be alive to found a city. He appears aware of this, as he uses "Romulus" as a pseudonym for a radio broadcast late in the series. There's a werewolf character named Fenrir Greyback. Fenrir is the wolf-shaped son of Loki in Norse mythology, and Greyback is obvious. On the other hand, Fenrir likes being a werewolf, so it's not impossible he chose the name deliberately.

Poor Asuka gets the dubious distinction of having both of her last names be associated with a terrible fate: Langley was attacked by Japanese planes and had to be scuttled, while Soryu was sunk at Midway. Is it any surprise that the place is a Dysfunction Junction? Asuka also compares the door to her room to the "impenetrable wall of Jericho" at one point, and tells Shinji not to try entering while she sleeps. Considering what really happened to Jericho, this implies she either subconsciously wants the wall to be "penetrated" or intentionally gave Shinji an oblique hint to try something (which he does not).

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? / int_49789fcb	comment	In the Adventures of Captain Vrungel, the captain names his boat Pobeda, "Victory", because "it will sail according to how you name it. You can name your boat 'Trough' or 'Sieve"', but don't expect it to not to sink at its first sailing." Ironically, at Pobeda's first sailing, two letters fall off and the ship becomes Beda: "Trouble" (the pun is "Courage" and "Rage" in the English translation). The four letters remaining are the only part of the ship to complete the journey. The animated adaptation averts the trope, and the yacht survives until the end. It is also the Russian Trope Namer. There's a Shout-Out to this in Alpha Protocol, where a mobster's yacht in Moscow is named the same thing, with the "Po" missing; by the morning after Mike visits, it's a ghost ship with no signs of a struggle.

Depending on how one interprets the title, it can be taken to mean "A dramatic and powerful shift in the status quo" or "Something that will probably never happen". The latter interpretation became a bit prophetic when the album hit a notoriously Troubled Production, with one of the worst cases of Schedule Slip in rock n' roll history: it took an entire decade to record, it set a Guinness World Record for the most expensive album production of all time, and the band spent eight years promoting it on tour before it was actually released. Before it finally hit shelves in 2008, some fans understandably doubted whether it would ever come out. This led to many an Obligatory Joke that there would be actual democracy in China before Chinese Democracy was finished.

About the only way the camp name could be even more conducive to the loss of battles and morale is if it was 'Camp Certain Death.' Actually, it's even worse. "Forlorn Hope" is a military term coming from the Dutch "Verloren Hoop", "lost hope", referring to the first wave sent into attack who are pretty much doomed to die. Basically, it's "Camp We Have Reserves". In fact, it apparently used to be called Camp Hope. It got the name after things went to hell. There is an actual Forlorn Hope Spring in Nevada, and the camp does indeed have a spring running through it. They probably could have picked a nicer name for the spring, though.

That didn't stop them from choosing the name anyway, though, because "guy who stole fire from the Gods" was too appropriate to pass up when fighting god-wannabes (and using technology stolen from them); the creators lampshaded it further by naming the episode in which it was eventually destroyed after the eagle who tormented mythological Prometheus ("Ethon"). Of course, the main reason he didn't want it called Prometheus was because he wanted to call it the Enterprise. McKay also got shut down for that by Sheppard. They went with Orion instead. None of the other named ships appear to match their name origins. Although, that was mainly because the ship's original Ancient name, Hippofaralkus, was universally considered to be kind of lame. Interestingly, despite being the same class, only a few Daedalus-class ships have similar themed names. The Daedalus herself, the Odyssey, and the Apollo (even though the Odyssey is the name of the story, not of the character). Other names are all over the place: the Korolev was given to the Russians, who named it after a Soviet rocket designer named Sergei Korolev; the Sun Tzu was given to the Chinese, who named it after a famous general; the George Hammond was originally called the Phoenix (which is, actually, fitting for this trope) but was renamed after General Hammond's death. It's not just the humans that get in on it: when the Asgard create a new class of ship (which is apparently a VERY unique occurrence for them) with all the best technology and most powerful weapons they could come up with to fight the Replicators, they name it the O'Neill. O'Neill himself is shocked, but honored. What happens? Its maiden voyage turns into a batshit crazy direct assault on the Replicators, leads them away, and self-destructs to wipe them out in the massive hyperspace explosion. Because the Replicators had never seen the logical-to-a-fault Asgard do anything like the psychotic, outside-the-box thinking strategy used, they fell for it. The first episode of Stargate Universe features the Icarus Project. Let's just say there's been a little SNAFU. The novelization of the Stargate Universe pilot has the ever Genre Savvy O'Neill planning to tear a strip off of whoever came up with the name "Icarus".

Most see the name as an affront to the ancestors and the living stars. Despite this, the fleet bureaucracy refuses to retire the name and gives it to a new ship as soon as they learn that the previous one has been destroyed. The bureaucrats are really pissed off after learning that the officers of the fleet have chosen to name a captured alien battleship Invincible. As expected, it gets destroyed in the last novel of the first spin-off series.

Darkness' female owner Laura was convinced the cat was demon-possessed and would freak out if he so much as moved toward her. Jackson's argument was that calling the cat Darkness, plus expecting him to act aggressively, wasn't helping anything. As such, one of Jackson's first homework assignments was having them change Darkness' name; they ended up changing it to Jedi. Similarly, one episode has Jackson dealing with a cat that is actually named Spike, but is almost never called that anymore, called "Bastard" instead by the owner because of biting/scratching behavior. One of the first things Jackson does is to nix the "Bastard" because if that's what the owner expects, that's probably what she's going to get.

The ship proves to be a nightmare for her builders and crew, and meets a disastrous end.

It's not his real name (his species doesn't use personal names) but is what humans have always called him. Still, being associated with the name doesn't seem to have caused him any more trouble than any other member of the group. He does end up in conflict with a man named David who is smaller than him, though.

It's well-armored and heavily armed, but it's also notoriously hard to maneuver and has the unfortunate tendency to carry a lot of ammo in its main body. Also, the vast majority of its weapons are optimized for long range and firing forward. As a result, it's vulnerable to smaller, faster designs that can close inside its range or move outside of its firing angles to find a weak spot, including a shot to the cockpit in its head.

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire gives us a few examples of the in-world naming convention faux pas and oopsie. Tagaryen examples: Maegor/Maelys/Maekar (may-you-never-be-trusted), Daemon (may-you-never-inherit), Visarys/Viserion/Visenya (may-you-be-overshadowed), Aegon (you-cannot-possibly-live-up-to-The-Dragon), Rhaenyra/Rhaegar (may-you-cause-civil-war-and-die-horribly) or Rhaenys (may-you-just-die-horribly) or Rhaegal (may-you-kill-others-horribly), Baelor (may-you-be-too-good-for-this-world) and last, but not least: Aemon (may-you-be-celibate-through-choice). There are a couple of apparent Targaryen sequence-breaker names that still manage to share a little something across the people with them, such as: the Daenaryses (beautiful, caring, initially valued solely as trade material... either a more significant footnote than most realise or a conquering exclamation mark that most don't want to think about).. and, the the Daerons; "the Young Dragon" (a bit 50/50 — undeniably brilliant, yet horribly rash), "the Good/ Wise" (who had an unbelievable mess to clean up as King, but did pretty well, with some hiccups)... and "the Drunkard"? Actually, Prince Daeron had enough of the Royalty Superpower to know he'd not be fit for the throne, so deliberately made sure he wasn't ever seen as such — wise or not, you decide. If so — he might have lived up to the name, if you see Dae as meaning "may you engender both greatness and folly, both recognised and unrecognised". Balon Greyjoy named his little son after a famous Stark king in a form of Villain Respect (from an Iron Islands' perspective). Um... Theon was doomed to live between stools even before he became a Stark hostage, wasn't he? Both Lyanna Stark and Lyanna Mormont are remarkably willful.

The spaceship resembles the original Titanic with added sci-fi bits tacked on. Naturally enough, by the end of the episode, it's sucked into a black hole. They even christened the ship with the head jar of Leonardo DiCaprio and he didn't warn them. Amusingly, nobody sees anything wrong with the name; after 1,000 years, it's not common knowledge. And when it comes to 20th-Century-born Fry's opinion, he's too much of a dumbass to know any better. Of course, none other than Captain Zapp Brannigan is repeatedly Tempting Fate. There was also the Land Titanic, the world's largest land vehicle. It sank on 7th Avenue after hitting a mailbox. This took place before the spaceship Titanic, so surely the ones who made the spaceship should have still had suspicions about the name. Mixed with Gone Horribly Right, there was "Project Satan", an attempt to create a super-intelligent (but evil) car. What went wrong? Well, the car was pure evil.

Bonus points: the command/service module (CSM) of Apollo 13 was named Odyssey. The craft was named after 2001: A Space Odyssey, but one definition of the word (as mentioned by Lovell's book Lost Moon) is "a long journey marked by many changes of fortune", as with the original Odyssey by Homer. This name proved prophetic when one of the CSM's oxygen tanks exploded, which put a leak in the other and eventually shut down the craft's power supply (not to mention its breathing oxygen). It took a great deal of ingenuity and hard work by the astronauts and the ground crews to bring the astronauts home, making the entire trip fit the dictionary definition of "odyssey". (And the story is known for the main character making it back home...) STS-113 flew without major incident, but due to schedule changes it was actually the 112th Shuttle mission. The next flight, the 113th, was STS-107, when the Columbia was lost on reentry. The 13th targeted flybynote a flyby in which the spacecraft's trajectory (Cassini in this case) is modified to have it passing very close to the object (a moon of Saturn for that probe) in astronomical terms (or not; one such flyby of Enceladus had Cassini skimming it at just 25 kilometers of its surface while transversing that distance in seconds) of Saturn's moon Titan by the Cassini spacecraft, in 2006, ended with the probe being hit by a cosmic ray and a good chunk of the data gathered by it in that flyby lost.

(Of course, any defeat is a victory for someone else — the Greeks won one of those, and technically lost the other.) But ultimately, the trope is subverted — both battlestations wind up facing scenarios similar to their historical counterparts, but weather them. In the third book, Tyler Vernon admits that he named the first two stations after those historic defeats because back then, he didn't know if they'd work — his main hope was that, even in defeat, they'd be memorable and serve as an inspirational example to future resistance, similar to how the fall of Troy is believed to have caused the birth of the Roman Empire, and the Battle of Thermopylae catalyzed Greece into an ultimately successful union to oppose the Persian invaders.

It boosts your Acrobatics skill by 1000, which both allows you to jump very high/far. The problem? This skill boost only lasts 7 seconds. You won't be able to reach the ground before the scroll wears off. To give you more of a hint, you get the scroll off the dead body of a mage, when he lands in front of you from out of nowhere. If you're quick you can save him by casting a Slowfall spell, but he'll just tell you "I don't want to talk about it" and then walk away. You can use the scroll to leap to the top of a mountain or into a lake, which can actually make them useful.

When they emerge back to realspace, the people who find them always give them names like Spawn of Damnation, Judgement of Carrion or Monolith of Woe (lampshaded by Inquisitor Vail, who notes that whichever Inquisitorial conclave named the Spawn of Damnation has a thing for the melodramatic). Though in this case, they name it expecting bad things inside, like sleeping genestealers, very much awake Orks, and/or daemons. Many, many Space Marines good and bad are named after mythological demons, evil gods, and other malevolent spirits,...small wonder that some fell to Chaos. We're looking at you, Erebus. One of the most glaring examples: the planet that has had some of the most apocalyptic wars fought over it in the entire setting happens to be named Armageddon.

Kharn the Betrayer (what a guy!) is famous for singlehandedly destroying his own Legion as collateral damage during a battle with the Emperor's Children, taking offense at the idea of nobody wanting to fight just because it was a few degrees below zero and these days for hitting every time he swings in close combat (not necessarily an enemy). Of course, when your first name is literally "traitor" (in Arabic, though Kharn is supposedly from what was Germany)...

Used for tourist visits to a primitive planet (namely Earth), it was named after a "famous ocean-going Earth vessel." The Doctor comments on how poor a name that is, and isn't too surprised when the ship starts to blow up and "sink". It was an Invoked Trope. The ship was supposed to crash into the planet and go nuclear, as a sort of genocidal corporate revenge scheme... As the resident "expert" on Earth culture clearly has a rather incomplete and distorted understanding of the planet, the lack of picking up on the significance of the name isn't all that surprising.

The Rihannsu (Romulan) belief system places great meaning on names, and it is considered unlucky to name a ship after a virtue, as it is all too likely to take too much of the spirit of that virtue. Kirk then muses on the unlucky histories of ships named Intrepid, and the Rihannsu renegade he's speaking with explains, "Name a ship for the spirit of fearlessness, and it forgets to fear." (She also thinks it explains why the ship named for the spirit of enterprise is so constantly in the thick of things.) The Next Gen novel The Children of Hamlin by Carmen Carter concerns a Federation colony named Hamlin who were subjected to an alien attack in which all the children were abducted.

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? / int_ce4f5b7d	comment	Alien Legacy gives us two colony ships with dubious names: the UNS Tantalus and the UNS Calypso. Tantalus is a figure in Classical Mythology who killed his son and was being a dick to the gods. His punishment was to be put into Tartarus with food and water nearby that would move out of his reach when he tried to take them (hence the word "tantalizing") and a rock suspended over his head. Why anyone would name a ship carrying one of the last representatives of humanity is unclear. For reference, you play The Captain of the Calypso as it arrives to a system already colonized by the Tantalus. You find only ruins and no trace of the people. Calypso is a character from The Odyssey who forcibly keeps Odysseus on her island for many years. Not much better. On the other hand, another meaning of "calypso" is "to conceal", which is appropriate for a ship that is supposed to carry the last humans away from a race of murdering aliens.

Ozymandias is also a symbol for futility, from a famous Percy Bysshe Shelley poem that Moore even quotes, and the end of the series suggests that Rorschach's journal could be discovered and cause Adrian's plan to fail. Apparently, he wanted to reclaim the name from the elegant ignominy to which Shelley's poem had consigned it, but considering what happens later on it does backfire somewhat. A recurring brand of door-locks come from a company that was rather stupidly (but appropriately) named "Gordian Knot Locks".

When fans pointed out online that no one would be crazy enough to name a starship after a famous ocean-going ship whose crew vanished mysteriously, creator J. Michael Straczynski pointed out that Australians might indeed be just that crazy. Elsewhere in the series was also a ship named the "Icarus". It was an archaeological explorer's vessel, and it was destroyed with all hands lost when it went to Z'ha'dum, the home of the Shadows, and woke them up. That "5" in the name of the show's primary setting is there because there were four other Babylon stations before it, all either destroyed or, in one case, vanished. The actual ancient city of Babylon didn't fare too well either... It is emblematic of humans in the series that they stuck with the concept, when another species would have given up, or at least picked a different name. Also, since Babylon is the name of the diplomatic project, it becomes a lot simpler to see why the Babylon stations had so many problems. We're outright told that Babylons 1 through 3 were destroyed by terrorist attacks, while 4 mysteriously vanished without a trace. It was actually commandeered by Sinclair to battle the Shadows a thousand years in the past. 1-3 were destroyed because there were people who were determined to prevent organised diplomacy happening for some reason. In any case, it's rather like the swamp castle in Monty Python's Search For The Holy Grail. The station is seen as a necessity, so they're gonna keep building stations, and the stations are named after the project. According to the fluff, they used surviving parts of the destroyed stations to help build the new ones, implying that B4 had parts of B1-3. Obviously, they didn't think the name was cursed, as they wouldn't have used the parts otherwise.

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? / int_f767269b	comment	In Helliconia trilogy, the eponymous planet is observed by Terrans from a space station called Avernus, which by the final book turns into utter chaos as its inhabitants go mad from being locked up in space,note They can't touch down on the planet, however Earth-like it is, as its atmosphere is filled with microscopic lifeforms that would over time kill Terran humans. The idea of genetic modifications or even simply wearing spacesuits is never brought up. genetically engineering obscene creatures among many depravities. Perhaps it wasn't such a brilliant idea to give that station a name alluding to a purported entrance to the underworld.

As if the name isn't Tempting Fate enough, they still stuck with it after losing the original Icarus. On the other hand, it does feel appropriate on some level for a ship whose primary purpose is "flying dangerously close to the sun".

The ship is named after the developer of the Hastings Cutoff, a 19th century shortcut through Utah, which would be a good name for an exploratory vessel, except the Cutoff is where the Donner Party happened.

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? / int_fb7a5509	comment	In 1898, a merchant seaman wrote a novel called Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, about a giant cruiseliner called the Titan which is meant to be unsinkable, whose passengers include lots of famous and rich people, and on one of whose voyages in its first year of service — yes, across the Atlantic — it hits an iceberg in the middle of the night in April and sinks. And no, there weren't enough lifeboats for the characters in his story either.note Not having enough lifeboats for the entire crew was actually more common in that period; back then, the primary purpose of a lifeboat wasn't to evacuate the entire compliment of the ship at once, but to ferry them to a waiting rescue ship; as a result, the number of lifeboats of a ship's design wasn't to have enough to take everyone off the ship at once, but rather to have enough for an orderly multi-trip evacuation from one ship to another. Of course, the fact that even in the novel, not having enough lifeboats for a total evacuation contributed to a massive loss of life likely shows that people were starting to see the inherent flaws in the "ferrying to a rescue ship" mindset, but unfortunately, nobody made a move to remedy this until it was too late to save the passengers of the Titanic.

Either way, it somehow still surprises 'bots when he becomes He Who Fights Monsters and ends up more evil than the villains he started out fighting.
