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 :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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)
