Have you suffered 'Kevinism'?

***Keith_M*** · 05-08-2022 04:54 PM

Apparently, in some countries, it's a real problem being called Kevin.

Any Kevins on here suffered such prejudice?

Kevin must be French version of Wayne or Darren, considered common and rather vulgar. Kevin always sounds like a little boys name to me, like Timothy, and not for a grown man. That must be my prejudice

Folk just copy American patter now and it's nauseating.

Yeah, I get stick, but only from fat bald guys in ill fitting england tops usually named Baz & Nige, who couldn't find France if you put them in a dinghy at Dover and fixed the motor so they had to land there

Definitely the case in Germany, along with the name Dennis.

must be an ‘Auf Wiedersehen Pet’ thing.
What about Oz?

***Ozyhibby*** · 05-08-2022 05:53 PM

Sharon used to be mocked in the 90’s, I think due to a viz comic.

It is.

**Glory Lurker** · 05-08-2022 05:57 PM

McKee, McAllister, Nisbet, Dabrowski.

No problem with any of those boys. Any Kevs I've missed?

Edit - Harper! Harper! Kent I'd missed someone. Sorry, Kevin.

Funnily enough I was thinking of that song when I read the article.

And because I actually have a cousin called Kevin (seriously)

Hasn't everyone.

For me it's like the change in attitudes of bald geezers. The urge to camouflage has been replaced by a pragmatic razor routine. People's names? Who cares. The whole Karen shtick is well out of order.

PS I'm not bald and I don't know anyone called Karen.

Disagree, you can’t have read the other threads

A welcome return of siliness.

***Smartie*** · 05-08-2022 08:58 PM

I have a cousin Kevin.

Pretty sure he was at Hibs for a while, if the Thornton variety counts.

***Bostonhibby*** · 05-08-2022 09:05 PM

Bizarrely I once worked in a team of Kevin's, 4 of them. Surnames began with A,B,C & D.
Wayne, Keith & Nic were the 3 unpopular outcasts....

Born in 1965 and called Paul, I was one of about five Pauls in my year. The others were all called John, George, Ringo or Keith.

We could be related, I've got a long lost cousin called CropleyWasGod.

He was the black sheep of the family my old auntie Kevin always used to tell us back in the day.

My dad has one of those names and his brother the other so your comment made me chuckle
