Re: Karen
Oh yeah I can see it coming back, it is (or was) a pretty popular name and those just don't die that easily. I'm going to throw out a guess that the children of the current generation of toddlers will be the ones to bring it back. The meme would be too far removed by then, and grandparents (those who know the meme well / even partaken in it) will get less influence on the names.It'd probably be seen as "charming" lmaoThe closest comparison is probably Ada. Karen was big between the 1930s and up until the 2010s (I've checked just for funsies, the decline of the name has nothing to do with the meme). Ada, by comparison Was popular from the 1880s up until the 1940s where it declined in popularity for decades until it fell of completely in the 80s. I suspect a similar trend where 20 years or so down the line (probably a little more), like Ada, Karen will suddenly rise to trendy status.It'll be interesting to see what names they'd like by then---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)
