Has Pop Culture Ruined Your Name

What’s in a name? We all have one, most are pretty normal while some are slightly unique, but thanks to pop culture these names have been ruined.

1. Karen . . . No explanation needed

2. Mario . . . Associated with Nintendo

3. Chad . . . Male version of Karen

4. Katrina . . . Thanks to the infamous hurricane this one is a no go.

5. Hermione . . . It wasn’t a super common name before “Harry Potter”, but it was considered an “exotic” option. Now, it has a much different vibe.

6. Adolph . . . Unless you have not cracked open a history book, this is a bad idea to name a child

7. Siri and Alexa . . . Every time you call your child, your phone or smart device will answer

8. Dick and Fanny . . . Pretty self explanatory

9. Donald . . . This name will now be associated with Donald Trump

10. Waldo . . . Just go ahead and buy a red and white stripped sweater

11. Damien . . . Ever since “The Omen” the name Damien has been connected with supernatural evil.

12. Guy . . . No specific pop culture connection . . . at least outside of “Flavortown” . . . but it’s so widely used as a stand-in for boring, “generic member of the male species.” Like, “just a guy.”
