31 Common Names That Can’t Really Be Used Anymore

Yeah that one guy completely ruined that name forever.....

The nicest, most generous and kind person I ever met is named Karen. What a shame that the name has been destroyed.

The old guys Statler & Waldorf were the unsung heroes of The Muppets though: Change My Mind

Thousands of years of the name only for it to be ruined like that.

Mine goes by “Echo”. The human name weirded me out.

There are two Donalds that come to mind. One doesn't wear pants and screams a lot of things that are hard to understand. The other one is a cartoon duck.

My God that book was hard to read.

That sod shot 77 people on a norwegian island in 2011.

Aaaaaalllviiiiiin!

Looking at the stats, Katrina seem to have been in steady decline since 1980 (in the US that it).

Much better than buying a pair Adolfas.

Weird because he was good enough to be a disciple of the Son of God. An alternate view has it that as Jesus knew who all his disciples would be, he specifically chose Judas to fulfill the required acts to ensure his crucifixion and resurrection, Judas agreed to enact Christ's plan and accepted that he would be hated for it.

Didn't know this was even a name to be honest 😳

The prejudice against Kevins is known as Kevinism. Jokes like "Kevin isn't a name, it's a diagnosis." It's a phenomenon in France too. A French documentary maker (also named Kevin) crowdfunded a documentary on the topic, working title "Save the Kevins"...

A friends daughter is named Lilith, beautiful name but almost gave his devout Catholic grandma a heart attack...

I call B.S.!!

I know a couple of Kevins, all are smart and nice

It's not as though kids being born now will know or care about Amber Heard.

I think this one will pass.

....what?

My first wife wanted Amber for our daughter, Amber Lynn. Due to that being an 80;s porn star (and this was in the 80s) I didn't think it was good... but no ones heard of Amber Lynn now so it worked out.

In that case I'm not sure amber is the problem

I wanted to call a daughter Amber, but am very gad i didn't, nothing to do with tht Amber, but the more i heard the name over the years, the less i liked it and i din't know why. Long befor miss Heard was ever in sight

...okay. I'll take the bait. I am an Amber, born in the early 80's. It was a popular enough name that I had a high school class with six other Ambers (yes, really). My husband jokes that Ambers are a dime a dozen; and if anything were to ever happen to me, he could just go get himself another Amber. I've never met another Amber I liked. I've always said they're either bitches, bimbos, or both. I'm sure there are people who would remind me that applies to myself as well. Yep. I know.

I know an adorable mini goldendoodle named Amber!

Haha amber turd, never heard that one.

Should have named her Bigphat Turd

Hi, please stop down voting people who are asking informational questions!! Not all the people on BP are American, or adults, or are simply not privy to all newsworthy people. Answer nicely or scroll on.

Dexy's Midnight Runners. Now that song is stuck in my head all day...

For those who don't know her and a man called Ian Brady killed children and buried them on the Yorkshire moors.

Doesn't seem too huge of a loss to society...

not journalist, Newspaper Editor. He got his political start as the editor in chief of Avante, Italy's most prominent socialist newspaper and one of the most influential socialist publications in the world. He was considered one of the defaco leaders of Italy's socialist movement. He however began to turn on the internationsim of the socialist movement and started promoting that socialism needed to be blended with nationalism. Then he one day quit Avante and a year later is the editor in chief of the brand new publication for a tiny political movement called the Fascistii , and over time he took over the movement and the rest is history.

Like Kevin, the stigma has a lot to do with the country you’re from.

Why would you give a child a last name for a first name?

Wasn't Kahleesi a thing for a bit aswell?

Somewhere, Wolverine is shaking his head at the WWE US Champion...XP

My niece is named Stacy. I've never associated her with that song. And never heard that she got any push back for it.

I just learned Joran van der Sloot is a Dutch murderer.

I need some enlightening on this, more so because that's me mum's name... -_-"

Why, please?
