Help[Opinions] Re: Why don't people like the name Donald
in reply to a message by ThojoeSmithinway2.0
Well, currently I think Donald Trump is doing it a disservice.
I don't hate Donald, but as a Canadian it's a name I strongly associate with men of a certain age, and as such its fairly stereotypical of a certain image of Canadian's. Gord, Lorne, and Bob would fall into this category as well.
I think it's also because Donald is common of a generation younger than the current revival, similar to names like Barbara, it's the names of people who are having babies parents and grandparents, rather than their grandparents and great grandparents. Possibly the next generation will have a slew of little Donald's similar to the current revival of names like Sophia.
I also just generally find the nald sound ugly. I love the name Donal, but the O has a different sound in this name as well.
