I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it.

My cousin Donald now goes by his middle name.
His quote: "man, fuck that yankee piece of shit."
Too bad his middle name is Elon. 😒
Ima start calling him that lol
Sadly, half of voting Americans think you're a fascist, Chinese bot.
Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.Trump isn't a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.
Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.
I'm guessing either a brit, an aussie who hates rhyming slang, or a VERY unwilling to adapt southerner.
Huh?
for some reason Donald Trump doesn't go in the category of "people named Donald" in my head. like Tom Cruise, he's not a Tom, or a Thomas, he's always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else's first name is donald, it doesn't make me think of him
Yeah, but it makes me think about Donald Duck
I think of a rarely seen side character from a rather obscure British sitcom
What about Donald Fuck?
Donald as a baby name has been steadily dropping in popularity since at least 2000.
You need to search here (can't directly link the result):
My link was bad. This should be closer.

It quickly reversed in 2022. More likely a statistical anomaly. Why not go up in 2016 to 2020?
uh, oh! hugged to death!
This website is temporarily unavailable. So I can't check their source. How do they claim to be representative across the whole of whatever region they're polling?
It's not from polling. It's from the Social Security Administration. I gave a better link in a different fork of this comment thread.
Edit: It's for USA and anyone who applied for an SSN. So everyone but some off-the-grid nutters.
Data Source
All names are from Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States after 1879. Note that many people born before 1937 never applied for a Social Security card, so their names are not included in our data. For others who did apply, our records may not show the place of birth, and again their names are not included in our data. All data are from a 100% sample of our records on Social Security card applications as of March 2024.
I don't think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don't think of Bush.
I would suspect that people can do basic math and realize why someone was named Donald if they're born near today. It might not immediately jump to mind, but it also wouldn't be subtle. I would bet no one else is naming their child Donald unless it's a family name.
It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.
Nice. Office Space reference.
Why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks
Reminds me of that other name that kind of just withered away. What was it?
Oh yeah...
Adolf.
I'm sure it'll be making a comeback soon...
Heil Trump 🙋♂️, amirite?
Remember when Khaleesi was a popular name?
Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
It´s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.Donald means something like “ruler of the world,” so not far off.
My niece named her daughter after Bella from Twilight. At least her full name is Isabella, but the inspiration is there.
Tell her to tell people she's named after the Phineas and Ferb character. There's zero down side.
A lot of us jumped on the fad of naming our daughters after Game of Thrones characters, especially the ones popular in the earlier seasons. And then D and D came along as show runners, and fucking wrecked everything for our baby girls. So Hodor, I regret getting sucked into that show and hope you'll forgive me one day.
My son Ghsrrfgff really hates me 😢
I like the name actually and don’t think it’s bad at all. The shower thought OP posted just reminded me of it. This dothraki female liberator saving her people —-> dragon firing everyone lol
I don’t think Khaleesi or Donald are going to be names that are dunked on in the future, at least not that badly.
They'll make lovely couples with the girls named Khaleesi
I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren't vaccinated, so
There were a lot of German boys called Adolf back then...
A lot.
Last few years, but named Donald? They were horny for Trump. Last few decades? Still could be horny for Trump @_@!
All of them.
Depends on how far y’all’s Trump derangement syndrome goes. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering taking it out on kids named Donald
Bullies absolutely will.
If there is USB I wonder why there is no ChinaB
