[Opinions] Re: Karen
I've never liked it, and I'm not sure why. Just the sound and look, I guess, and it seems really stale and not at all ready for a comeback. Although I recently read about a Karen who would've been born in the mid 1800s, which I found fascinating because it's so 40s-50s to me. But I actually didn't know the etymology of Karen until I looked it up just now.

Oops! Meant to respond to original post.I'm not particularly drawn to the name itself, though I do have positive associations from a childhood friend with the name. I'm also familiar with the "car" pronunciation from the movie, 'Out of Africa'. I think of it as a friendly name and I'd be pleased to meet a new little Karen, though I wouldn't choose to use it myself.
