Teachers: the names you will never name your own kids

Karen as of now lol.

I was almost named Karen but my mom decided on something else. Sadly most of the Karens I've met in my life have been super nice, but the name has a negative rep as of now.

I’ve always wondered why the name “Karen” was chosen for nosey, entitled white women. I actually have never met a “Karen” whose personality matched the somewhat new term.

Apparently they’re great weed killers. I’m going back this weekend to dig them up and replant them in my yard.

I hope you got that woman’s number so you can let her know that you’re on your way to dig up her plants, otherwise, you could be the next victim from the “Karen” living next door. 😂

Not really a seriously horrible name, but friends are going to name their rainbow baby (several miscarriages in the past) Elsie. These are not slender people, and I'm so afraid that she will be saddled with "Elsie the Cow" when she starts school.

I'm praying that they change their minds - they do have a couple months to do so.

Lolololol!!!!! I’m way ahead of you, PB. That was the first thing that crossed my mind when she said that. I damn sure wasn’t ringing her doorbell. I’m not trying to get shot thru the door by whoever could be living with her.

Ha ha, my name is Karen and I am constantly apologizing for name. I am a nice Karen 😊 - at least most of the time😜

I’m glad Lindsay isn’t a thing. If it is, I don’t want to know about it lol.

CG, your name is Lindsay in real life? Lol I’ve always pictured a Meghan or Jennifer. Never a Lindsay.

Nothing against Michael Jackson but I don’t get the name Blanket. Who’d name their kid Blanket? One of my frat brothers name is Kermit. That’s not a joke either. I’d take Kermit over Blanket though.

lol
Hilarious! I have a close friend named Megan (different spelling). No one I’m close to (friends, family, coworkers) ever calls me Lindsay. It’s either Linz or Lindy. I don’t know why, it’s just what they call me. Yes, Lindsay is my real name. But you can continue to call me CG.
