... just asking, is Kevin the male equivalent for the Karen meme? Because in germany, we have... a different meme for Kevins.

Yee, in US, we call male Karens "Kevins" because its the one male name that starts with a K that everyone thinks of first.

also known as 'the crystal special'

note to people potentially being offended by this: this is a joke, I don't have anything against players from crystal, please don't report me for this clearly obvious joke done in complete jest



good ol' chantalle, justin and kevin... my class- and schoolmates got lucky that the memes about those names only really picked up when they were almost out of school :P

Don't forget the Jacquelines!

"schakkelinäää!!!!! bring mich mal die milch her ey!!!"
all these names remind me of some friends' parents (and what/how they called their kids in public) and trash tv shows like die wollnys with their hyphenated and/or weird names and the subsequent yelling of them, god...

It's also because Kyle (which is the other meme K male name) references the angry white teen boy meme. Drinks monster energy drinks, wears way too much axe body spray, gets angry over inconsequential little things and punches drywall.

For a while I worked in a part of the Jugendamt and the shocking thing was that you really encountered all of these names frequently. In combination. Up to 3 first names connected with the feared Bindestrich.

the second or third name usually being the dads or grandads name, right? always love to see combinations like kai-uwe, justin-pascal-wolfgang or similar names which don't fit together phonetically at all

Throw in a spicy mix of Names like Katharina + some modern American words like Arizona...
