My wife's name is Karen, and I've teased her about it over the past 6 months and she's kept mum about it.

She finally admitted to me that it gets on her nerves greatly and she resents all of it. It came as quite a shock to me (because I find I lot of it funny) but I suspect there are a lot of Karens out there that aren't amused.

The kiddos and I have now resorted to calling her "K-Dog" which she gets a kick out of.

I suspect that anyone who's caught grief for their name wouldn't be surprised. We (generally) don't choose our names, and yet it's imbued with a lot of our sense of identity.
