Damn so the feeling everyone has about people called Kevin & Kenny or Vicki etc being often not so intelligent, isn’t actually a feeling. There’s actual data to back this up!
Thanks for this post OP!
Where would “Karen” be situated on this scale?
So basically the saying of having a Y in your name basically ruins your life still holds up.
I don’t know anyone with a Y in their name that isn’t margi.
Unfortunately I have a name ending in -y. Unfortunately because I don’t like it. So far I haven’t had any problem in life with this name. I have a master diploma, good job, good savings, stable relationship, my own house… I just want to say we’re not all margi or stupid…
Ah Vanessa van de nieuwe wijk.
No way that Glen is that unpopular, coming from a Rob
“It’s over Debbie, I have the high ground!” – Pieter
We’re missing Filip and Alexander at the top
Bro I ain’t even know half these names existed, which mf called their kid Jo
Geen Mohamed?
De onderste 15 zijn gewoon alle namen van de Pfaff familie
I remember a boss back in the day said that “Kenny” and “Kevin” are lower-class names. I was aghast!
I advised her to tell her friends to go with the original – and unpronounceable – Irish names of *Cainnech* and *Caoimhín*. 😅
Suprised that my name is spelled here like it’s actually written and not like everyone misspells it.
Names like Debbie and Kenny are now replaced with Jayde, Qiyana and Dilano. Certified margi.
How can Karen still be in the right half of the chart…?
Jeezes, I had two relationships, one with Debbie and one with Kelly. 🙁
This graph uses data from 1999, so it’s extremely outdated. Just so everyone is aware.
Matthias does not care, because he is going to be a doctor or a lawyer.
This is an extremely Dutch/Flemish language set
I am having real problem connecting the dots… …to the right name hahaha!
Super racist and discriminatory white people article/post that deserves to be cancelled immediately for only having white people names. Wow so rude i am trembling. This triggers me so much.
Shaneequa, Mohammed and Abdul Abdullah Abdessamet arent even on the list
It’s shocking to me that some people in this thread mix up intelligence with level of education, be it on purpose or not. It’s really not ok to dismiss those people as being simply less intelligent. They were set back in life, early on, more often than not because of reasons over which they had no control.
But hey, it’s funny because you know a Kenny who drove an mbk booster and knocked up his girlfriend Tamara when they were 17, right?
😞
Save you the time connecting the dots. It’s a bird !
I wasn’t expecting to see half of the names in my family in the lower parts
Then again it kinda makes sense in my case
Joke and Lies
The Pfaff’s have been known too long .
I somehow expected more Jan-Pieter’s. But on the other hand we’re not in the Netherlands.
Well, they’re not wrong.
My name is Maarten, my brother’s name is Ruben. Both of our parents have a master’s degree in economics. So anecdotal evidence backs up the data
You name your kids “Joke” in flanders ? :’)
I always found it funny the fact that you guys up north have so little first names
