No, I thought "bunk" means bed bunker or bunk as in pile something over one another.
Well, it does also mean that, but, in this context, that's not what came to mind when I saw it.
I guess, you're right. I am not sure if it's a good idea to change the name. What do you think?
I don't think it's a big deal. But bunker list would avoid this particular misinterpretation

btw, I like the idea. Or I think I do, because I'm not signing up before I get a chance to test it. This is a very common - and very legitimate - complaint on Show HN posts. You need to give people a chance to work with it - play around a little - before they sign up

Good luck!

I think it is a good idea to change name.
I would.
Indeed, my first reaction was that this would be a list of sites to avoid.
