Kinda sucks if you have the name.... my aunt is named Karen.

People don't want to name their kids Karen now.
 
It's kinda funny to me though because usually when a name dies it's because someone killed it.

Adolf. There's a good reason why that name and that mustache are dead and gone.

What's funny to me is that the Karen meme has been attributed to generation that was mostly Ashley's and Kimberley's and shit like that. My aunt is in her 60s. I think most Karen's were born in the 60s. The name doesn't fit. Most of the bitchy "karen's" are Gen X.
 
Who was the first Karen?

A good question without a definitive answer, apparently:

Why “Karen”? Despite various theories, no one seems to be certain of how this particular name was appropriated to describe women, usually white, who commit acts that are perceived to be bullying and sometimes racist, such as calling police on law-abiding Black people. But Amy Cooper quickly rose to the top of most-played “Karen” videos on YouTube and elsewhere.

The first time I remember seeing it was attributed to the "take me to your manager" haircut. Which again, is so weird to me because the haircut and the name aren't from the same generations. These are Gen Xers.

See what I mean..... the name doesn't fit the generation of the people.

If anything, the "karens" are probably one of these names. Most popular girl names from the 70s.

I've known a lot of really nice Karens in the 50s and 60s. I've never associated the name with someone not nice until I read about it in here starting two or three years ago.
 
Before they were called Karen, we all used to use the name Becky.
 
If Jordan Peel made the movie Karen...

 
Kariannes across the states are uniting based on accents and slurred speech.
They are fed up with being called Karen in error due to the new definition of the name.

I once had dinner at a friend's house. He would put every plate that had leftovers on it down next to him for the dog to eat then when he and his wife did the dishes they would not use hot water.
