I have always known plenty of Karen's, but it can't have been too common a name at the time, judging by my Dad's Mother's reaction of "Karen? What kind of a name is that?!"
Hmmmmmm....Karen is a good name. My partners name is Karen, and she is 53 years old....so it has been around for a while....LOL.....also I have known lot's of Karens in my time, so it's not as rare as one would think. I also think those Norse names are a bit more popular amongst the Brits.
I have three daughters....Christie, Cherylea and April....April can't stand her name....LOL....oh well....two out of threee ain't bad....eh ???
