Sounds like a joint.

> Specifically, the 1990 comedy Home Alone (the German title of which, Kevin – Allein zu Haus, includes the hero's name) is credited with making Kevin the most popular boys' name chosen in Germany in 1991.[2] Kevin Costner's 1990 film Dances with Wolves is often cited as an additional factor.[3] Both films were released in Germany in 1991 and were the two most successful films there in that year.

Picturing German moms saying their son kevin's name is so comfy.

I imagine German audiences at the time were into stories about young boy protagonists or something and the stories were often named after the titular character. Every country is like this, and marketing little things like these can make or break sales for foreign audiences.

>>217797854
Same here

>>217797854
I'm born 1991 and my dad actually tried to name me Kevin but my mom won the argument and now I'm Dennis. Like Dennis the menace. Both pop culture trash name's

It was over for you when you were in the womb

Can’t think of anything worse than being named after a goddamned Bethesda character, even Sephiroth is not as gay.
