If you're reading this, there's a fair chance you know a Kevin. It's not as popular a name as it once was, ranking only 196th in the latest list for boys in the United States. It peaked in the early 1960s and was a top‑15 name through much of the 1970s. So we're a long way past peak Kevin, when America still believed in Little League, optimism and the possibility that men in short-sleeved shirts knew what they were doing. Now, however, those Boomer and Gen X Kevins have arrived at the controls.
