(5,803 posts)5. Here's How Much The Name 'Donald' Is Dropping In Popularity
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-baby-name-popularity_l_5cd07cd4e4b0548b735e2aa2
The baby name Donald is declining in popularity, according to new data from the U.S. Social Security Administration.
On Friday, the agency released its list of most popular baby names in the U.S. in 2018. Between 2017 and 2018, the name Donald fell 39 places, from the 487th most popular baby name for boys to No. 526 ― its lowest ever ranking in the annual SSA lists, which date back to the 1880s.
The name Donald peaked in 1934 when it was the sixth most popular name for baby boys, but it has followed a general pattern of decline ever since. However in 2017 ― the first year of Donald Trumps presidency ― the name saw a slight boost, jumping up to No. 487 from its 2016 ranking of No. 489.

Funny, George and Richard, Mitch and Paul are just names, and though they are horrid Republicans, their names don't seem to be affected. Very common and English. But so is Donald, but only the Dotard is so horrid as to get his given name to drop in popularity at a greater rate!
