Donna

Hopefully this name will become popular again. It’s a really cool name that deserves a comeback.

This is my Mom's name. I like it. It is very retro-cool. It would also be unique to bring back to the 2020's for sure. It reminds me of the Oh Donna song. "I had a girl and Donna was her name.."

I'm loving this name for a girl. I think that it has a lot of class, and it sounds really beautiful. The only reason I wouldn't use this name is because of its relativity to Donald, a name I don't like for obvious reasons (Trump, and Politics). But, I would still use it. I like it a lot. It reminds me of a very smart woman, sort of like a librarian with glasses. It also reminds me of a girl who is the life of the party.

Although I admit it sounds really cool, it still sounds like a spoiled 15 year old who has her own car and breaks her parent's rules.

I love it very much and think it's got retro-cool.

While this name sounds a little bit too hard, it is still somehow an elegant name. Looks serious, but actually good. Donna is a quality name!

I never used to think too much about being named “Donna” however since losing my Dad and finding the reason behind being named Donna was because of my Dad’s love for the song by Richie Valens “Oh Donna”... also, my fathers name is Richard making this a very sentimental name to me now ❤️❤️.

Pretty, but it would sound grown-up on a little girl.

Very dated and bland. It's not a terrible name, just boring and not a great choice with so many prettier sounding names out there.

Very distinctively 1950's-ish.

Very feminine and ladylike name. I really like it, it's so beautiful and nice. When I think of a Donna I think of a 14 year old slim red headed girl with freckles and green eyes. It may sound close to the names Don and Donald but it’s still my all time favorite name. I really wish my name was Donna.

This is a very 50's name. I have known 3 women named Donna, one a relative and 2 co-workers. They are the kind of people who are nice to your face, but talk about you behind your back. You could say I find Donnas untrustworthy. I am only speaking for myself, so your experience may be vastly different.

I Just named my daughter Donna-June Valentine. I was never hugely fond of the name Donna, but my husband wanted to name our daughter for his mother, and so we decided Donna-June had a nice ring to it, and it also continues the theme of hyphenating our daughters' names. First born daughter being Hazel-May and now her sister Donna-June. Although I wasn't a huge fan of Donna at first, it has grown on me. Also, I like DJ as a nickname so it's fun, classic, and playful.

I named my daughter Donna after my mother that passed away. My daughter is now 16 years old and I hope the name Donna comes back more. It's a beautiful name and I couldn't see my daughter named anything else but Donna.

I think it’s too close to “Donald” and “Don” to be a good name for a little girl. I’ve never thought it was very pretty.

My name is Donna and I was named after my father Donald. I am proud to be his name sake and feel I have lived with a wonderful name. Thank you Mom and Dad and I hope the name "Donna" becomes popular again.

It is a beautiful name, very elegant and ladylike.

This is such a lovely name. It's not as popular as it used to be, but still well-known, and it would be refreshing to meet a modern baby or child named Donna.

I love the name Donna, I find it very pretty. I've named one of the characters in a book I'm writing Donna after debating between Donna, Nora, and Dina for ages (she goes by Nightfox in the story).

It is a beautiful name & I think eventually it will be popular again one day. As for it sounding like a white trash name I disagree as the name is derived from the Latin & Italian as meaning lady! I know a Donna so maybe I'm a little biased but she's not old, fat, church going or a married settled woman nor an alcoholic but a fun loving, light hearted, slim trim woman! The woman whom I think of when I think of Donna is an actress of the 40's & 50's Donna Reed & she was a beautiful woman! I'm an old movies buff so like I said maybe I'm biased about the name.

Eh... sounds like white trash.

This is pretty much a RARE name. Pretty name, not used much.

Ladonna is the African American version of Donna? Really? Please delete that. Insensitive!

Donna is a beautiful name, even though it sounds like doner kebab. :P.

Yes, Donna is out of fashion at the moment. But it is still a nice name. It is not a "yuck" out of fashion name; it's a pleasant out of fashion name. I think if I were a young Donna of today, I would call myself Donni, on an everyday basis, as a little bit of an update. But I still would feel happy enough with my given name, Donna.

This is my mom's name. I think it's really pretty but it doesn't seem to be popular anymore. In fact, it would sound odd calling a young girl Donna, to be honest... But with the popularity of old-fashioned names nowadays like Sophia and Isabella, Donna will probably make a comeback within the next two decades.

Some other spellings I've seen is Dawna which I find more feminine and pretty.

Truly a name from the Dazed & Confused generation--teenagers in the 70s (born in the late 50s, early 60s). In fact, whenever I hear the name Donna, I think of Donna Pinciatti from "That 70s Show"--which is also why I can't picture this name on anyone but a redhead.

I commented a few years earlier that Donna was a very dated name for me, and associated with the character from "That 70s Show," but I've recently come to really love the name. It wouldn't sound out-of-place at all on a child today.

Donna sounds like the good girl from a 1950s sitcom family or like Donna Hayward from Twin Peaks. I like it more than I did at one point.

This is one of my all time favorite names, it's feminine yet strong, sexy and elegant yet short and simple all at once! I also know that some people spell it DANNA which I think is even prettier than the usual spelling Donna.

I liked this name back at 12 and 13, but now it just sounds quite tacky to me, like the name of some mean high school girl from the 80s. I don't like the fact that this means 'lady' in Italian either.

It's rdiculous that ayone has ever considered using this as a masculine name. It means "Lady" in Italian, is derived from the the Latin "Domina" which was a term of respect towards upperclass women, and is the origin of the Noble English Women's title "Dame."

My sister's name is Donna and so is her stepmum's. I think the name sounds common and boring, but obviously her father doesn't!

Donna is a great name. I think Donna sounds really friendly, beautiful and sophisticated.

Donna is a very feminine name. Sometimes it is spelled with only one n. Nonetheless its pronunciation is the same.
