Fewer American babies were named 'Karen' last year than any year since 1932, after the name became a pejorative slur for white women who throw fits in public.
Data released by the Social Security Administration shows that last year, just 325 newborns were named Karen, which represents 0.019 percent of total female births in 2020.
Karen, which had already been declining in popularity for years, plunged from the 660th most popular female name to number 831, tying for the 13th sharpest decline among all female baby names.
The name Karen peaked in popularity in 1965, when 32,873 Karens were born, representing 1.799 percent of all female births.

My sister Karen passed away 6 years ago.

I have recently met a 2 year old Henery. And a young Mary and a Louise. My son said he planed to name his children Joseph d Mary
When I was growing up, a colleague of my parents had a daughter named Martha who was my age. I also have a good friend named Marta.
No!No!
The worst girlfriend that I ever had was named “Karin”. Though spelled differently, she lived up to the cliché and was a nightmare. Her first husband enthusiastically dumped her and I’m now curious if the second one is hanging in there. (Of course, she also turned into a Hillary loving proggy.)
I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child, especially one that young. One of my best friends over the last thirty years lost his 8-year old daughter to brain cancer years ago. He has never been the same person he was before that.
Number named Hillary since 1992: Zero
In my uncles assisted living facility the persons name is on their door. Most are in their 90’s.
I always get a kick out of their old school names: Stella, Clara, Pearl, Dorothy, Roseann.
No Linda’s, Michelle’s, Melissa’s or Julie’s yet...the names of girls in the 60’s and 70’s I grew up with.
When the English royal family was expecting a child a few years ago, people were suggesting names. I suggested that if it were a girl, she should be named Nannette, but an Englishwoman that I know replied, “no, no, Nannette!” She thought it would be inappropriate to give a French name to an English princess.
Now that the Covid madness is finally ending, I am predicting a spike in suicides. The mask “Karens” will no longer have any reason for living.
Henery? Weird. What was wrong with Henry?
A “Karen” is someone who expects you to do better. Not surprising that it has become a dirty word today.
Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please, remember me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dear

Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
