Just realised I dont know any under 40 now.

Don't like it much. Has this been lumped with the 70s chic never to be used again?

I wouldn't say it won't be used again. Nsmes come and go and If you think about it Karen is granny name, now. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if it made a come back.
In 40 years names like Ava and Sofia will seem dated and probably make a come back in 70 years

It’ll have its day again, like a lot of names

I know a baby Karen.

I know quite a few in their 30s, plus the one from Outnumbered Grin.

IVflytrap · 09/01/2018 14:47

I know one in her early 20s and another in her early 30s. I don't find it as dated as some other names from the era. I think it's quite a nice name, really.

I think it'll come back, but maybe more Caron.

Karen is the name of the little girl in Outnumbered isn’t it?

Names go in and out of fashion every year, so it is bound to come back.

AHintOfStyle · 09/01/2018 14:51

I think it'll come back round. I know a 3yr old Keren (which reminds me of Bananarama in the 80's)
