Naming your kid Donald now a days is like naming your kid Adolf in the 1940s.

    Contrary to what other peole say, donald is still super common as a name. It’s culturally significant to many nationalities and scottish people don’t really let the fact that the 47th POTUS is a tosser interfere with what they name their kids. I think various commonwealth countries (e.g in the caribbean) like it as a first name, and loads of american people born since '45 have had it - actors, musicians, artists.

    I think people should be allowed to use the name adolf without it conjuring association with 🚨🗿.

    Edit: btw, Donald Trump is an interesting name because it etymologically means “World Ruler Trump” and Trump, in card games and such, means “victor,” so 47’s name is “Victorious World Ruler.”

    No wonder he has issues.
