'Donald' drops on list of most popular baby names from 2017 to 2018

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The name "Donald" dropped 39 spots on the 2018 list of most popular baby names, which was released by the U.S. Social Security Administration on Friday.

The name moved from the 487 most popular spot in 2017, to 526 in 2018, the lowest ever ranking for "Donald" in the agency's annual list. In total, there were 533 babies born named Donald in 2018.

The name's popularity has been slowly declining since 1934 when it peaked as the sixth most popular name for baby boys. The name did see a popularity spike between 2016 and 2017, however, moving up from the 489 spot to 487.

It's not clear the drop has anything to do with President Trump, who was elected in 2016.

In 1980, Donald was extremely popular at the number 53 spot with more than 6,200 babies given the name.

1. Pretty soon it will be about as popular a baby name as "Adolf."

2. Wow! Only 533 in 2018. What blows me away is Liam, Noah and Oliver in the top 5.

I never associated them with Trump.

5. I feed a big orange feral cat each morning who snarls while he eats. Thought about naming him Donald

Never heard a cat make exorcist sounds like this one! Very Donald-like. But ultimately I decided to name him Mr. Rogers because someday we'll have a decent president again, and years from now I won't want this one reminding me of 45.

6. Men like to give their sons their own name, so

a lot of those new Donalds are stuck with Jr. after their name. Pride before politics I guess.

7. Fucking A, some chick named "Dawn" trying to hit me up on the dating site

That's too damned close!
