    • Riggle Jean Marie Mrs retired home 399 Pleasant Drive

    The popularity of Karen was previously graphed in 2019.  In light of recent history, let's take another look at her trajectory.
     

    Prior to 1928, Karen made four one-and-done appearances on the baby names chart.  Once she caught hold, however, she rocketed into the top tier of baby names for girls, spending 49 years (1938-1986) in the top 100, including 18 years (1951-1968) in the top 10.  She peaked at #3 in 1965.

    In 2020, Karen became shorthand for an entitled, demanding white woman.  The name was already in free fall, but this incident caused it to fall off the chart in 2021.
