Don't you think in the 90s, Celtic first names in general came back? I knew a lot of 'guillian', 'kevin' (and alternative graphie like 'kevan'), and even Bleuen, Marwen ? I felt like my parents generation celtics name were Yann and Patrick, and in mine it was much more diverse.
I never heard of the expression 'kevin' to talk about annoying or oblivious kids until I left Brittany (then internet arrived and everything changed).
It might be because of the invasion of us tv shows, but don't you think there was regionalism also in the area?
- Leherenn 4y agoAlso first names were very restricted before 1993. There were some regionalism allowed, but I am not sure to which extent.

And Celtic culture was more mainstream in the 1990' thanks to events like the Interceltic festival of Lorient [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Interceltique_de_Lorient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Interceltique_de_Lori...
