Dark humor works best when the joke is about your own chaos, mortality, or terrible timing, not somebody else's real pain.
These chat names lean dry, morbid, and self-deprecating while skipping slurs, targeted cruelty, and jokes built around real victims or tragedies.

What I would choose
I'd choose The Existential Side Chat for dry humor and Memento More Memes for friends who like the joke obvious. Keep real personal losses and other people's trauma out of the punch line.
