2020 had the fewest number of babies named ‘Karen’ since 1932

Jun 3 2021

Due to an influx of memes and amusing coincidental circumstance, the name “Karen” has evolved into what media platform Vox have called the average “basic white person name” often related to mothers who sport a particular haircut and often want to speak to the manager.

Due to such a cultural evolution, the name’s popularity has diminished over the years, with America’s Social Security Administration reporting that only 325 newborn babies were named Karen, representing only 0.019% of all female births in 2020.

This was the least amount of infants named Karen since 1932 – do you think the name will die out?

Many have argued that such a conservative mentality has no place in today’s modern climate and that permission for tattoos and facial hair should not even be a consideration.
