My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.

    Kevin is literally the stand-in name for uneducated/lower classes children here in Germany. There’s literally been an article in Der Spiegel “Kevin is not a name, but a diagnosis”.
