It's considered a lower-class name here in France (since it's English-sounding), but all the Kevins I know are nice, so I kinda like it. I still wouldn't name my son Kevin, though.

Kevin has never been on my radar. It's okay. There are many, many worse names out there.

It's really dated where I'm from and isn't used on babies/children anymore, but for some reason I kind of like it. I don't like Kev as a nn though.

I have a cousin named Kevin who is 29.
My husband has a cousin named Kevin who is 28.
I have a neighbour named Kevin who is 92. That is awesome!! I don't mind the name. It would be unexpected on a baby.

People really hate Kevin, never realized it. It's not a bad first name, although it is a little whiney. I think I like it more because a few years ago, I knew a little redheaded boy named Kevin who was so cute and sweet.

Kevin is one of the few names I really can't stand.

As a name for a baby ... middle name.
It's a dadname, isn't it? It's like Gary as of 1995.
I think it's cool only because I have a good friend named Kevin. But on a child it is just ok ... just outside the "cool enough" range, sort of a trendy name of the past like Brian. I still like it alright. Not a fave.

I can't really like it at all. Kevin is a really really rough name around here.

Very old mannish, dated and musty.

For some reason, I hate it. I say "for some reason", because it's not that different from Calvin, which I really like, and it sounds close to Evan, which I think is okay. But for some reason, I hate it. I really hate the way it looks. Then, of course, there's the fact that its popularity has rendered it massively boring.

I feel the same way and I can't really explain why?

It's not bad at all. A bit of a mouthy-show-off kind of vibe, but not a pretentious one.
