Donald

I personally love boy names for girls paired with traditional feminine middle names so I don’t want both names on my daughter to be masculine, just her first name. Donald, for a girl, it’s unique and elegant. More people voted this name feminine, so I tend to think this is a girl’s name. Donald is a very cute name for a girl! I don’t even want her to be a tomboy, I can imagine a girly princess named Princess Donald since Princess Sophia is plain. I think this name should be labeled unisex. Donald is a cute name for either gender, handsome for a boy, different for a girl, but I only like the feminine forms for GIRLS ONLY! But since Donald is so masculine, I would pair it up with a feminine middle name like Elizabeth and make her all girly! It’s like a boy stuck in a female body with a middle name honored after his grandmother. Donald as a name is even more cuter for a girl than a boy.

Remember, you guys voted this name more feminine because you think the president is actually a woman, you’re responsible for naming your daughter this!

I can’t believe more people voted this name feminine without any of the comments having anything to do with girls AT ALL! Donald actually can be used for females, since you guys changed our perception! I actually prefer Donalda on a girl, not Donald! You guys think this name is feminine but you commented about something else to do with the name, not about the gender. It’s okay to put boy names on girls, just as long as you pair it up with something feminine like Christine, especially if it’s the grandmother’s first name, so she can be like “Christine is my middle name, I was named after my grandmother to keep the family name going by the ancestors.” Really don’t! Donald is not a girl's name. It’s a boys name and it should remain a boy's name! There’s nothing feminine, girly, or unisex about Donald! What's so wrong with Donalda or Donaldine or Donna? They are trying too hard. Donald Trump didn’t even ruin the association so it’s a great name.

First person to tell us why Donald is voted 45% masculine and 55% feminine wins a $1,000 dollar gift card. You guys vote more rates of the male given name Donald, being feminine. But nobody posted any comments about it being feminine or a girl's name. It’s because you think Donald Trump is girly? LOL! No! But because girls should have boy names especially from its original past. I get it now!

Caseynames6629, Wow, that is weird! Never noticed that.

I have never liked the names Ronald or Donald. I think they sound ugly. It's funny that Mac on It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is named Ronald McDonald. Funny because of the McDonald's mascot, but also funny because the -onald names just sound comical and dorky these days. The terrible president is a sad little blip on the radar of human history, and I think it's possible that the name will survive despite him. Too bad, because I hated it long before I knew who he was.

Not everyone is fond of Donald Trump, but it’s sad to see how people are making their beliefs interfere with a name.

Unless you want to expose your political views, it's best not to comment about this name.

I never liked this name, but now I like it less because of Donald Trump. Donald means ruler of the world. Hmmm...

It’s sad that people have to let their political opinions affect their opinions on a name...

This name is handsome and distinguished. It represents strength and success. I like this name even better now because of President Donald Trump.

This was not a horrible name but Trump has made it unusable with his vile persona.

It's quite a shame that so many people came to this name just to give it bad ratings because they dislike Donald Trump. There are other bearers of this name, you know. And I think that even though it's a bit rough sounding, it's a nice and traditional Scottish name.

Took one look at the name ratings and I just knew that spiteful liberals could not resist tarnishing it. Is "urban" supposed to be bad? Lmao!

I simply don't understand why so many people, 54% voted this name for girls. Dona? Dora? But why Donald?

Behindaname9, etc) that is pretty strange how 45% votes are masculine and 55% are feminine. Yet I can’t find any comments about it being a girl's name!

I've personally never met anyone named Donald here in Singapore, but the name is so tarnished now because of the American president. Personally, I associate the name more with Donald Duck, the Disney character, than Trump (my god, there are so many politically inclined comments here...). The meaning is too arrogant-sounding, in my opinion.

Please respect and obey our President. The irrational fear and hatred of our President by the majority of opposers is totally out of control!

Right now the name is suffering because of a certain extremely unpopular US President, but even with my feelings about said President, I can't hate this name because it is my dad's name.

The name Donald sounds professional. Especially Don. Much better than Hilary. :)

I always thought Donald was a goofy and dorky sounding name. Donald Trump ruined this name.

So ugly and dowdy, plus of course it's the name of the racist, arrogant, and ignorant clown whom Russia elected president of the United States. Trump has definitely made this name the new Adolf.

Will probably end up as the new Adolf because of the Trump association.

This will NEVER be usable in America again.

I'd hold off on this name for a little while to see what Donald Trump does during his presidency. He's promised to shake things up and so far it seems to be in the negative direction. The name has the potential to be associated with him for a long time so don't saddle your child with that without knowing how things may turn out.

If you don't want to be associated with white supremacy, please don't name your child Donald.

I don't really like the meaning, "ruler of the world". Also, Donald Trump is very dangerous. If he becomes the president, he'll think he IS the ruler of the world. If you already named a son Donald, or plan to name your next son Donald, I do recommend calling him Don, because very few people if anyone will associate the nickname Don with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is running for president, he is not liked by many, the name Donald will never be very popular if it ever was. The association with Mr. Trump will not be forgotten, just like with Donald Duck. This name has too many unfavorable associations to be given to a child.

Does anyone else find it a little bit frightening that this name means "ruler of the world," what with Donald Trump and all...?

My name is in fact Donald, and quite honestly I, like everybody else, had no choice in the matter. We were named by our parents, it was their choice. Whether a person likes the name or not, for some reason is of no concern here. We were given the name and we have to live with it, or have it legally changed. Either way we have to deal with it despite what others think of it.

It's a duck... it's the president. Best name ever!

Donald was my grandfather's name. He was a kind and loving man. I love the name Donald. It sounds like the name of a Scotsman. I also think of Donald Sutherland or Don Estelle. Too bad that idiot Trump is called it. It's sad, as Donald is a lovely name and I do not want to have my Grandfather's name tainted by that jerk.

Donald never had the highest ratings to begin with, but it looks like they've recently tanked because of Donald Trump. I find it sad, really, because I don't think Donald is that bad of a name, all associations aside. I hope the stigma doesn't remain for too long of a time.

I've never cared for this name. There's the very unfortunate association with that super-ignorant jerk Donald Trump, and I'm afraid that a lot of American baby boys who get the name this year will probably be getting it after Trump.

Boy, there sure are plenty of salty liberals on this website who condemn this name because of its association with a certain 2016 presidential candidate. Personally, I'd consider donning a future child of mine with this name because of the living legend himself, Donald Trump.

I'm reminded of Donald Draper from Mad Men. Voted "Sexiest Man Alive". No denying Don was the quintessential ladies man. Handsome, complex, successful and desired by beautiful women. Donald is a great name.

I don't even mind the association with the cartoon character Donald Duck, but I personally, would never use this name because of Donald Trump.

Donald isn't the best name; it's dated but tolerable. The name has been used far before Trump and there are a slew of other Donald's out there. People using the name have nothing to do with Trump.
I knew someone who named their son this as his middle name. Not because of trump but because it was the little guy's grandfather's name.

I'm sure most parents using this name these days worship that right-wing fascist Donald Trump.

Sounds like someone who's enormously fat and was the school bully back in his day.

If this name wasn't synonymous with Donald Trump, I'd be alright with it. :)

Like the name. Sounds strong yet willing to flex. The contraction of the name Don seems to roll off the tongue. I form an impression of a name by the people that I know that have that name (Yes, strange I know) not by how it sounds like some people or associate it with a stereotype i.e. Donald Duck, Donald Trump etc. The three guys I know that have this name are no nonsense, serious, analytical, calm under pressure and folks that I would want around in an emergency. Yet they can laugh at themselves when they make a mistake as long as no one is hurt or loss of property is minimal. They are not flashy but a constant that can be counted on when an anchor is needed.

I don't like this name at all. It has an ugly sound, and it reminds me of Donald Duck, Donald Trump, and McDonalds. The only good part of the name (in my opinion) is the meaning, and very few people would actually care about the meaning of a fairly popular name.

I think this is a cute name for a guy.

Honestly, Donald Duck and Trump don't ruin this name for me, I just think it's a hideous name.

I originally hated this name (as shown by my comment above), but now I love it for some reason. I think it's great, vintage, and strong with a very good meaning also.

A very old name. Donald duck comes to mind haha, so sorry no, never.

This has got to be the most capitalistic name ever. That said, for good or for ill, its meaning is indeed not too far off the mark.

This name just doesn't do it for me because of the association with the Donald Duck cartoon character.

Reminds me too much of the duck and the Trump.

Awesome meaning. :)

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.

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

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.

It acually reminds me of the cartoon character "Donald Duck."

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.

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.

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