**Title: The Great Kareem Debate****[Scene: A coffee shop where friends, Alex and Jamie, are having a lively discussion.]****Alex:** (sipping coffee) So, have you noticed how some names just don’t have a good vibe? Like... Kareem.**Jamie:** (laughing) Seriously? You think Kareem is a bad name?**Alex:** Yeah! I mean, when I hear “Kareem,” I think of someone who’s always trying too hard. It just sounds like they’re trying to be cool but missing the mark.**Jamie:** (smirking) That’s a bit harsh! What's wrong with the name?**Alex:** Well, it has this flamboyant flair. Like, it's shouting, “Look at me, I’m special!” It’s a lot to live up to. **Jamie:** (raising an eyebrow) You do realize that Kareem means “generous,” right? It has a pretty positive connotation!**Alex:** I get that! But still, the name just feels over-the-top. Like, I can imagine a Kareem walking in wearing sunglasses indoors and a flashy blazer.**Jamie:** (grinning) So, you're saying it’s more about the image than the name itself? **Alex:** Exactly! It’s like a brand name that needs a catchphrase. Imagine: “Kareem: Here to impress!”**Jamie:** (chuckles) Okay, I see your point! But can’t we appreciate the uniqueness? Not every name has to be a plain Jane.**Alex:** Fair enough! But there’s something about the name that just doesn’t click for me. **Jamie:** (playfully) What would you prefer, then? Something more classic?**Alex:** (thinking) Maybe something like David? Strong, timeless. I mean, nobody’s ever saying, “Oh no, not a David!”**Jamie:** (mockingly serious) Ah yes, the name of legends! But hey, you have to admit, Kareem has some great examples—like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!**Alex:** Touché! But he's an outlier. What about the average Kareem at a coffee shop? **Jamie:** (laughs) Okay, those might be some interesting encounters! **Alex:** (smirking) See? We should create a skit about a typical Kareem… what he orders, how he interacts. **Jamie:** (excited) That would be hilarious! “One mocha latte with a side of ‘Look at me!’”
The name Kareem was given to 344 boys born in the US in 2016. More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Kareem are male.

Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan was an America soldier who died in Iraq in 2007. He is mainly known because he was a Muslim soldier, and many ignorant people think Muslims are not Americans.
