It's ok you can be named Karen and not be a Karen. Same for Chad or Dick/Dickson.
Words can have multiple meanings, and so do names.
The context of a sentence usually is enough to distinguish, hence no one meant your mom isn't nice just because we use her name as a insult for other people.
Easy for you to say if that's not your name. I don't have any hope of dissuading people from using the name that way, but imagine your name was "motherfucker" and it was a completely new combination of letters, no one had any negative connotation associated with it, then all of the sudden everyone is calling each other motherfucker and it means "fucking someone's mom." You probably would be pretty bummed out. Doesn't matter if you know someone calling someone else a motherfucker isn't referring to your birth name.
That's a real Karen thing to say.
That's a real boring thing to say.
That's something a motherfucker would say!
