1. And in twenty years, those kids will petition the court to change their first names to Adolph.

[Ocelot II]

2. It was a pretty common name in baby boom days and previous -

I knew several guys my age and my parents' age named Donald. It was falling out of fashion recently anyhow, but sometimes there can be extenuating circumstances... Adolf was once a common, popular name in Germany but according to the Interwebs, these days only 10-15 baby boys are given that name every year. And their parents are probably members of AfD.

3. He will spin it by saying new parents know their kids are inferior to him and couldn't meet the standard.

4. Even Genghis, Judas, Adolf and Pol Pot are more popular than Donald.

Heck of a job enshittifying your very own name, Donald.

[The Wizard]

5. Adolf is more popular.

6. Has Donald been a popular baby name since 1934?

Considering that Donald is the name of a famous movie star...



...it seems to me naming your kid Donald would set him up for bullying.

8. I was born in 1956. It wasn't a very popular name

It reached it's peak in the 1930's at number 7
By the 1970's, it was down to 42nd. By then, probably people were being named after their father's or grandfather's
1980's it was 66th, 1990's 134th, by the 21st Century, it dropped off the charts below 200.

7. I was born in 1956. Not that many guys were named Donald in my class.

The name was falling out of popularity when I was a kid.

Donald Duck
Old McDonald's Farm...

9. There are several Donalds in my family

It goes back a few generations (and then one of my aunts hilariously married a Donald as well). Not sure if the name is gonna continue on though! To be fair that was likely the case prior to Trump too...not a lot of males being born in the family.
