Another name could be 'Downfall Ending'. This implies that the characters or the situation in the story has a downward spiral towards the end, resulting in a negative conclusion. For instance, in a story about a once - prosperous kingdom, if at the end it is in ruins due to war, corruption or natural disasters, 'Downfall Ending' would be a fitting name.
One example is 'Romeo and Juliet'. Their deaths at the end can be seen as a bad ending. They were two young lovers from feuding families, and in the end, misunderstandings and the feud led to their tragic deaths.
You could call it 'The Downfall' or 'Fateful Doom'. They both convey a sense of a negative and final outcome.
There was no definite answer as to whether In the Name of the Family had a bad ending or not because the plot of the drama was still brewing, and there were differences in the views of the audience and critics. However, judging from some comments and reports, the ending of the drama might be controversial. The ending of the play was not yet completed, but the current known plot was that Li Zeyan and Ling Xiao finally resolved their relationship, but their son, Li Jianjian, had problems. Some viewers thought that the ending was not perfect enough, and that Jianjian Lee did not really solve the relationship between him and his father. Others thought that the ending was reasonable because there was a complicated emotional entanglement between Jianjian Lee and Ling Xiao, and they had to face their own problems in the end. Whether or not In the Name of the Family's ending was a mess would require more information and comments, as the views of the audience and the critics might differ.
I'm not aware of any novels specifically titled 'bad ending maker novel'. However, there are many novels with sad or bad endings. For example, 'A Farewell to Arms' by Ernest Hemingway has a rather tragic ending. The relationship between the main characters doesn't end well, and it shows the harshness of war and life.
One example could be 'X - Comic'. The art in it is very basic and lacks expression. The characters look like they were drawn in a hurry with no real attention to detail. The story is also all over the place. It starts as a mystery but then suddenly turns into a love story without any proper transition. Another example is 'Y - Graphic'. The dialogue is so cheesy and full of clichés that it's hard to take the story seriously.
Some bad character names for a story could be names that are trendy but lack depth, like 'Brayden' or 'Aubrey' when they are just used because they are popular at the moment and not because they add anything to the character. Names that are anagrams of existing words in a way that is too obvious and distracting, such as 'Drab' for 'Bard' if it doesn't serve a purpose in the story. And names that have no connection to the character's personality or backstory. For example, if you have a fierce warrior character and you name him 'Fluffy', it creates a disconnect for the reader.
You can use words related to negative emotions. For example, 'Despair's End' combines the strong negative emotion of despair with the concept of an end.
Some common ending blends in a story could be -nd as in 'find', -st as in 'last', -nt as in 'want'. These blends can add a sense of finality or completion to words within the story.
In 'The Sixth Sense', the revelation at the end that Bruce Willis' character has been dead all along is a dramatic ending. It completely changes the viewer's perception of the whole story and makes them re - think all the previous scenes.
One example could be 'The Sixth Sense'. The twist at the end where it's revealed that the main character was dead the whole time was a huge shock.
