Chad is the usual name given for a male Karen.

On another thread a week or so ago, someone asked why there was no name for the male version of the “Karen” meme.

I suggested “Jonathan,” based on my knowledge of Marxist media activists masquerading as journalists — Jonathan Karl and Jonathan Chait come to mind at once.

In fairness, that was before I caught an interview on Youtube with Sebastian Gorka’s ex-Navy Seal pal Jonathan Gilliam. A genuinely tough man, in all the best ways, he comes across more like a Mike or a Joe or a Nick.

I might also note that I always found Karen to be a perfectly innocuous female name.

If I had created the “Karen” meme, I probably would have called her “Nancy,” for obvious reasons.

There is a certain karma about names. One of my hobbies is onomastics, the branch of linguistics that studies name origins and meanings. I’m 62 and have been dabbling with this since I was a teenager. Some of my erstwhile friends think I’m a bit eccentric as a result. But at least it’s a lot cheaper than golf.

I’d sure like to read other FRiends’ thoughts on this subject.

CBS has them, maybe they are called David's, David Bagnaud wears a mask in the middle of an empty park..?
