In Sunshine (2007) movie the spaceships were named Icarus I and Icarus II , but Icarus was the first person who tried to go to Sun and died in the process. Why name a spaceship in such a way which is ill fated .

1SInce they weren't crediting Clark Ashton Smith they probably did not want to go with "Phoenix", which would have made more sense, but is the name of a CAS story about an attempt to rekindle the sun with bombs.– Eike PierstorffCommented Jun 20, 2021 at 8:53

According to this source there is a comment in the DVD commentary
They were asked why the ship is called Icarus, and he says the original script included dialogue meant “to remind Earth and the people on the mission of their humanity and their humility.”

7That is the whole story of Greek myth of Icarus. His pride caused him to fly to close to the Sun. Using the name Icarus is meant as a warning...and probably a foreshadowing.– Paulie_DCommented Jun 19, 2019 at 15:40
