\u201cThe federal agency received fewer than 400 Social Security card applications for baby Donalds last year, making \u2018Donald\u2019 the nation\u2019s 690th most popular baby name amid Trump\u2019s return to the White House for a second term,\u201d NOTUS\u2019 Dave Levinthal wrote<\/u>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Donald\u2019 did tick up a few notches in 2017, Trump\u2019s first year in office, but continued its nearly unabated free fall for the next eight years, losing more than 200 popularity places by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

The name \u201cDonald,\u201d according to NOTUS\u2019 review of federal data, saw its popularity peak in 1934, with more than 30,400 babies receiving the name. <\/p>\n

The name ‘Donald’ would remain among the 100 most-popular baby names in the United States through 1990, just as Trump\u2019s tabloid fame exploded after Vanity Fair published its explosive profile<\/u> of Marla Maples, who was revealed to be the president\u2019s \u201chidden\u201d girlfriend amid his crumbling marriage to Ivana Trump, who today is buried<\/u> at one of Trump\u2019s golf clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven in Florida, Trump\u2019s new home state and a Republican stronghold, parents minted just 21 baby boy Donalds last year, at par with the names \u2018Abner,\u2019 \u2018Enoch,\u2019 \u2018Neythan,\u2019 \u2018Ariun,\u2019 \u2018Eros,\u2019 \u2018Stone\u2019 and \u2018Westley,\u2019 and slightly behind the likes of \u2018Mohammad,\u2019 ‘Kash,\u2019 \u2018Brandon,\u2019 \u2018Maximus,\u2019 \u2018Keanu\u2019 and \u2018Truce,\u2019 among hundreds of others,\u201d NOTUS\u2019 report reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents haven\u2019t been influenced by the first lady, either. \u2018Melania\u2019 once cracked the top 1,000 most popular baby girl names \u2013 in 2017 \u2013 but did not appear before or after Trump\u2019s first year in office, according to Social Security Administration records.\u201d<\/p>\n
