Comments for DONALD:

Never have I known someone to fit the meaning of their name as my grandad (Donald) did his! This name is wonderful!

If you're going to give your child a name that means "ruler of the world," they're gonna have to be pretty conceited when they grow up.

When I hear this name, I can't help but think of a bumbling, not so intelligent person, but the meaning of this name, "ruler of the world" is quite the opposite of my impression.

A couple of unfortunate associations would make me hesitant to use this name for a child. The lisping and abrasive Donald Duck is fairly bad; but the real clincher is the comedy song 'Donald, Where's Yer Troosers?'. I can just imagine the endless embarrassment the poor kid would have to suffer from "witty" people singing choice lines from this song everywhere he goes. If I lived in a part of the world where this song was unknown, this would be near the top of my list of names as otherwise I like it very much.

I don't like this name. It makes me think of that selfish jerk Donald Trump.

It's also used in Poland, although rarely.

Well - now that I see the meaning of the name, the fact that Mr. Trump has had such a huge success doesn't seem so odd!

I can't believe that people would be put off a name by cartoon characters and celebs, lol! Donald is a really great name. I think the meaning fits in my mind what I imagine a Donald to be like.
