Karen

I've always loved this name. What are your thoughts?

It's a more classic name that's not too common now (but still sounds kind of youthful) so I like it

I picture a woman in her 50s.

I agree. It's a classic that was very popular 50 years ago, but is an underused classic today. I like it! ?

I don't love it but there's nothing wrong with it.

It's ok. I would envision someone in their 30s-50s for the name Karen.

no complaints

We're using a version of it as a mn, so I definitely like it! We considered it as a fn, but it just wouldn't work for us. (We're using the altered spelling b/c we're combining Carol+Sharon for the grandmothers.)

My name is Karen and I love it! I have a friend with the same name who spells is Caryn, so you might consider the "C" spelling if you're looking for something a little more youthful.

I like this name and you don't hear it all that often anymore. I know 5 Karen's my age though, so I guess it was pretty popular in the late 70's/early 80's?

It's my name and I love it too! I only ever knew 2 girls my age with it. I love that it is not a commonly used name but it is still something everyone knows.
