- Cardinal Kevin Farrell serves as camerlengo, temporarily overseeing Vatican proceedings and organising the conclave.
- In France, Kevin was especially popular among working-class families, peaking in 1994 when 15,000 babies received the name.
- Released in March, the documentary Sauvons les Kevin features more than 500 interviewees describing ridicule, discrimination, stalled applications and dating-site rejection.
- Beddington probably links the name’s earlier Irish popularity to Saint Kevin of Glendalough and suggests a Pope Kevin.
