Karen and Alexa

[Anonymous]

I adore these names. Unfortunately it would be impossible and cruel to give one of these names to a baby today.
Are there any other beautiful classic names that have become a no-no?

If you like them use them.

Not slam but talk about how annoying it is when you love a name and then something happens and people get a strong association with it.

I think of that scene in Jane the Virgin where they introduce the twins. Anna and Elsa.

Just give different variations. Corinna, Karina, Alexandra, Alexis.

For whatever this is worth, OP, my name is Karen, and for my entire 48 years since I've been aware of my name I've hated it.

And I have a relative named Alexa who sometimes goes by Lolly, and she isn't phased at all by "the Alexa" existing.

Names that haven’t aged well;

Monica (Lewinsky)
Katrina (hurricane)
Yasmin(e) - birth control pill
Molly - slang name for Ecstasy
Candice/Candace - “can dis fit”
Mercedes - all car now
nickname Kitty for Katherine. Akin to pus*y
