Help[Opinions] Re: Donald
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I can't stand Ronald, so Donald wins there. But it's more by default than anything else. I'm pleased to see almost any name revived and Donald fits into that category. I would be much happier to see Donal, with a long "o" sound, catch on.
But yes, among the likes of Gordon and Richard, Donald fits right in. He benefits from their reflected glory.
I've never seen the series, but I think "Mad Men" on HBO has a lead character named Don. Perhaps the name might get a boost from that association. Personally, any attraction Donald has for me comes from linking it in my mind with Scottish history. But for most people, the HBO associaiton would be the more attractive, if any.
