bc I think it's very funny, here are some little bits of trivia that non french people do not have access to when they name their characters using french names :
there was a smear campaign against the names Rémi and Kévin in the early 2000's to the 2010's
both became adjectives more than names like if you said "un Rémi" it meant a guy w no friends and when you said "un Kévin" it meant an uncultured/stupid/annoying guy
it's less the case nowadays but nobody has forgotten about it
however, in the past couple years, a video has gone viral, redeeming all Kévins' reputation since now it's all people think about when they hear the name (des paillettes dans ma vie Kévin)
#there was at least one kévin in each and every single class#and rémi comes from rémi sans famille the cartoon#nowadays 'matteo' and 'timeo' have replaced kévin#there's always a matteo or a timeo who is making a mess in every single class#source : I work with kids#there are trends in the names we always hear the teacher yell#babbles blabbles#THIS IS VERY FUCKING FUNNY TO ME#I JUST FOUND OUT HOW DRAMATIC THE KEVIN SITUATION WAS#15 000 kids to 77 kids in a year holy SHIT#kids would get bullied SO HARD for being called rémi or kévin#children are absolutely ruthless
