That's funny because in France, Kevins have bad reputations too 😂😂😂

We have that in Italy too! Most people that give American names to their kids are lower class, low education.

There were 2 other Kevins in my grade. But there were dozens of Johns, Mikes, Jasons, and Jennifers.

What are some stereotypes about the East?

[NedLawrence]

Anything ‘invented’……in the USA the peasants invent names to try to be ‘different’; rather like owning a pit bull terrier or having tattoos….to lend social tone. We all know the truth though….😂
