What´s a better name for a Karen? I have heard rumblings of dissatisfaction with the name, and I’m all in. My Aunt’s name is Karen. My first black babysitter was named Karen. I used to tease her because her fiance was a white man with striking red hair. For some reason, being 7, I thought that was hilarious.
