NAME OF THE DAY: Donald

Since President Trump's name has been all over the news the weekend I started this blog, I decided to make my first name post on his: Donald.

The name Donald derives from the Scottish Gaelic name Domhnall and means 'ruler of the world' according to the name website Name of the Year. That of course is a very fitting name for the President of the United States (interestingly, JD Vance, the Vice President's middle name is Donald also).

Donald was surprisingly never a popular first name for a boy to be named even when Trump became president the first term in 2016 - 2020. Name Census cites just under 3k newborn boys were given the name Donald.

I personally am not a fan of the name Donald. It's a boring name. It's not even a boring but classic name (like 'John'). Sorry. I briefly met a Donald but he went as Don (I found out later he didn't go by Donald & I always wondered, how did he get the name Donald?) He did not "look like a Donald" (but did "look like a Don").

Before Donald Trump put the name Donald into the spotlight with his presidency, whenever I thought of the name Donald, I thought of like most people, the cartoon duck, Donald Duck. However, Donald Trump is certainly now the most famous Donald of all time.
