What stereotypes do you have for people with certain names?

There was a recent Q regarding the use of the name Karen in a derogatory way. When you meet someone named Karen do you actually assume that woman fits the stereotype? I assume not.

What names do you have stereotypes for?

Maybe it is just someone (literally one person) you know who has ruined a name for you.

Some popular names I can think of from Baby Boomer and Gen X are Heather, Michelle, Melissa, Jennifer, Lisa, Linda, Jessica, Stephanie, Elizabeth, Debbie, Barbara, Helen, Michael, Jonathon, James, Robert, William, Jason, Joseph, Anthony, Richard, David, Lawrence, Thomas, and Matthew.

Around the time I was born there were also quite a few female i ending names, like Bobbi, Barbi, Kelli, and Candi.

When I moved to Michigan I met my first Troy, and there was more than one.

Humor welcome.
