I personally wouldn't touch Karen with a 10ft poll these days. Too much negative cultural image online.

Unfortunately the same applies where I live; the fault of the global village. But it's a name I've always liked, and though my Danish aunt used the -en spelling, perhaps I should have gone for the Karin version. Though I don't like it as much!

A professor of mine was a Carin so I would joke with her that she was only a letter away from caring! ... she was not amused lmao

I once really liked it becomes of a book series I read as a child with a protagonist Karen. I dare say I would have even considered it once upon a time. It's unfortunate what happened to the name. It's practically a slur now where I live.
