The name 'Donald' may be going the way of 'Adolf' — once common, now severely tainted

A highly stylised retro-inspired illustration of a glamorous pin-up woman standing in the centre of a brightly decorated nursery. She weareth a patriotic red, white, and blue dress with star-and-stripe motifs, sheer stockings, red heels, and a polka-dot headband. Smiling and winking, she cradleth a sleeping infant in one arm while gesturing playfully with the other. Two more babies sleep in wooden cribs on either side. The room is filled with warm nostalgia: rocking horse, teddy bear, toy truck, bunting, floral arrangements. Behind, a mural of the Empire State Building and a vintage propeller airliner fly through a bright sky. Warm golden lighting and saturated colours create a cheerful Americana ideal—nursery imagery, patriotic symbolism, and classic pin-up glamour.

FTA: In 2025, the baby name “Donald” hit its lowest point of popularity in U.S. history, according to data maintained by the Social Security Administration and reviewed by NOTUS.

The federal agency received fewer than 400 Social Security card applications for baby Donalds last year, making “Donald” the nation’s 690th most popular baby name amid Trump’s return to the White House for a second term.

“Donald” peaked in popularity in 1934, when more than 30,400 American babies received the name, and remained within the top 100 through 1990.
