When you get right down to it, names have a lot of meaning from definitions of said name to associations with said name both good and bad. However whenever a name becomes infamous for one reason or another, the people who share that name often have the worst of luck. So in salute and sorry for all the shit you went through because some asshole with the same name originated it. I hereby give you the top 5 names with the worst luck.
Number 5: Karen
While I appreciate a good Karen joke as other person, when you get right down to it, a lot of the "Karens" out there are not even named Karen. So the people whom happened to have that name, often have the worst luck of being ridiculed by those whom encountered or watched a video on a "Karen" or two. Of course it doesn't help that the main definition of Karen, didn't even start at a store with a manager, but with a wife of a famous Mafioso pissed off about him cheating on her:
Still until someone can find a less sexist version of the phrase "Self-absorbed entitled bitch." Karen is here to stay.
Number 4: Steve
Literally every joke, ridicule and insult often begins or ends with that name. LittleKuriboh of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged had a lot of mileage on that one:
Number 3: Meg
Do I even really have to explain this one?
Number 2: Beulah
When people here that name it's often associated, with shrewd wet blanket border-lining Nazi bitches that try to ruin fun for the rest of the people. So bad that if someone who doesn't fit that description gets saddled with that name, they'd go through great lengths to keep anyone from knowing it:
Number 1: Adolf
A name so infamous that very few Germans and Austrians even use it anymore. So bad for a very good reason, that anyone who else got saddled with it, would be labelled a Nazi even if they were in the Allied. The most famous other than the most infamous example is this man:
Adolf Dassler. Sound familiar. Look down at your shoes. If some of you aren't wearing Nikes or Puma or Reebok, then you're most likely wearing his shoes. Adidas. Now too his credit Dassler shortened his name to "Adi" so that he'd avoid being associated with Hitler. But to add further to the irony look at this picutre:
That's Jesse Owens, whom you may remember is the one black American runner that proved to Hitler that the "Aryan Race" wasn't all he hyped up to be and the shoes he's wearing here for his long jump, are Adi's brand. That's right, Jesse Owens beat Adolf with the help of another Adolf. And yes, that's why I put it in the number one spot. For if not for the magic of archives and data, that poor Adi would have his shoes destroyed simply for sharing the same name as Hitler.
But let me know if there are worst luck names you know. Just to add a bonus one. If you think Eric and Dylan are the worst luck names to go by due to....well you know. Go to a Japanese school and mention the name "Sakakibara" you'll get the exact same reaction.

It was a reference to this scene in Field of Dreams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur7pHRRKhV4 There is this author named Terrance Mann, played by James Earl Jones. Whom was controversial and an activist. (Back when being Controversial and an Activist was considered a good thing.) This woman named at the PTA wanted his books not only banned, but burned. But one of the main characters Kevin Costner's wife, protested, called her a Nazi for wanting the book burned and challenged her to a fist fight when Beulah insulted her husband over the main plot of him building a baseball field in his cornfield.
