That's what my Daughter's Partner has called me some times. I wondered why & thanks to you, now know, as he was a Marine, retired. It was said in a jokey way.

Re: Karens

I don’t like it when names like Karen, Sharon and Carol plus many similar names, are shortened to Kaz, Shaz and Caz.

Some beautiful names are ruined when they are shortened and a ‘z’ is added to the end.

Re: Karens

Funny things, names. I wonder how many know that John Wayne's real Christian name is, or rather was Marion?

Yes, that always comes up in quizzes plus many other real names.

Re: Karens

All Karen's should not be tarred with the same brush.

We have a lovely lady with that name on the forum who I have known from another forum since 2004. She is a lovely lady, very friendly, never complains, is extremely helpful to others ..... and is an animal lover.
