The end of the Karen? Fewer newborns were given the name in 2020 than any year since 1932 after it became an insult for white women who throw public fits

My sister named Karen died in 1960 at age 8. My parents are gone now and wouldn’t have understood what they did to that name. My father visibly mourned till he died in ‘06.

I recall when just about every other girl was named Linda. But that name is now rare among young people.

My wife is named Karen. Her birth was in before the peak, in 1964. :-)
She HATES the new “name shaming”.

The name Karen peaked in popularity in 1965, when 32,873 Karens were born, representing 1.799 percent of all female births.Makes sense as many of the women throwing fits in public over mask-wearing tend to be in their 50s.

Names, I believe, are cyclical. Some go in and out of fashion. For a while, very few boys were called William, Robert, Andrew etc... but I’m hearing that name a lot more now. My Mom considered the name “Deborah” for me... my maternal Grandmother thought it was “new” and “sounded stupid”. What is old will become “new” again at some point.

Imagine what would happen if the meme for people committing horrible acts of violence against Asians became
LaQuisha or
Dontrelle.
I bet no one would find that funny and it probably wouldn't make it into mainstream advertising as the Karen meme has. Just sayin'.

“She HATES the new “name shaming”.”
Spot on.
The use of Karen in name shaming is a racist practice from the 60/70s in the South, today that has been adopted by many in the white culture.
Blacks would label white women Karen, who they did not agree with. It is sad to see so many white folks to pick up this racists practice. I guess White Folks want to be politicly correct and accepted by the left now days.
You will see people label Karens on FR regularly now.
