One of the funniest videos of politicians that I've seen recently was a casual meetup of Poland's PM Donald Tusk and the then incoming Hungarian PM Magyar. He had just defeated Viktor Orban, Putin's fifth column in the EU and authoritarian asshole of the year. Magyar introduces one of his ministers to Tusk. I don't remember which ministry but her name is also Orban. Tusk is ever so briefly taken aback by the mention of that name, which Magyar realizes and quickly adds: "No relation." They giggle at the mixup and Tusk just fires off nonchalantly something like: "Well, my name is Donald." They laugh and move on.

Of course he's a cop

Hillary. No one names their daughter Hillary and haven't for a while now.

Grover, Kermit. These were also common names. There was president Grover Cleveland. Teddy Roosevelt named one of his sons Kermit. Sesame Street had such a strong cultural impact that these names also fell out of use.

I think the name Donald has been out of style since before Trump was born.

Imagine spending your whole life being compared to Donald Duck.

Naming your kid Judas or lucifer has been pretty taboo for the past 2000 years.

My grandpa’s name is Donald. I was gonna name my kid after him.

Sorry, grandpa.

Not yet, there are people who have, and will, name their kids Donald. They might actually give him the "t" middle initial too.

I've heard a fun fact about this! Nowadays, at least in North America, they make great effort to always use the full names of people that become infamous to reduce the poisoning of names like that, as well as to minimize the incidence of living people with the same name.

Just make their middle name Duck and you are golden.

Karen is similarly poisonous

Nobody names kids "Adolf" here, even today. That name is thoroughly burned.

Nobody shied away from Joseph after Stalin.

Adolf Israel Jihad

Is Adolf a safe name yet? How long needs to pass?

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.

Is Isis still off-limits?
