Re: Karen
I agree with you - it hasn't dated dramatically (unlike Carole, Sandra, Patricia etc) and retains its cool Nordic elegance and charm. I'd love to meet a young one.That said, I pronounce it - as did my Danish aunt - KAH-ren; other versions like KARRen and KAYren leave me shuddering. ka-RIN is OK in a Germanic environment, otherwise not.
