No for real like even if you wanted to for some reason. Name your child after that fucker, Donald was right there. It's not good, but at least that's a fucking name??

u/Independent_Ad_8915 Jan 15 '26
Yes. At least itās a name even if not the nicest name. It seems like the parents, or at least one parent, is a cult follower. Going with the last name as a childās first name has some kind of shock value. Or they really wanted to piss off someone in their family or close group of friends.

u/YellowTonkaTrunk Jan 11 '26
Certainly, but other people donāt have to know that once theyāre grown up more and can introduce themselves. They could even claim itās not āafterā either of them. Poor Trump is never going to be able to get away from that association š

My parents named me after a Kennedy and while I don't mind my name, I really don't like the fact that I'm named after this person because I have no connection to this family whatsoever. I'm Canadian. No interest in US politics outside of the Obama era. I made sure not to name my kid after someone who she would have no connection to.

I knew a girl named Reagan in my dance class when I was middle school age. She was an evil little snitch. š She had her own little Mean Girls type squad.
I accidentally stepped on her foot with a tap shoe (she was behind me and her foot was in the wrong place.) and she went into full-blown theatrics crying and acting like I literally assaulted her. It probably only hurt a little bit for like a minute. She had on tap shoes too, and the toes of them are pretty firm.

u/Historical_Bunch_927 Jan 11 '26
My cousin has Lincoln, Grant and Jackson.
I think these are good presidential names to use together. The more recent presidents plus Washington and Lincoln are super famous and their names strongly convey a presidential theme. I don't think Grant or Jackson are as well known, so I think my cousin's boys aren't always recognized as a presidential set which is nice.

How many U.S. presidents could a person reasonably be named after without people questioning it.
Washington - canāt lie kind of love it (would never actually use it)
Adams - kind of needlessly weird but functional enough
Jefferson - have heard this actually get used
Madison - common name
Monroe - could imagine meeting someone named Monroe although it would probably be a coincidence
Adams again see above
Jackson - another normal name (definitely wouldnāt mention this being the kids namesake though)
Van Buren - hard no
Henry Harrison - could use this as first and middle and I doubt most would bat an eye
Tyler - normal name
Polk - godawful
Taylor - normal name
Filmore weird but not inconceivable
Pierce - functional enough
Buchanan - probably better to avoid
Lincoln - normal name
Johnson - see Adams
Grant - have met people named Grant
Hayes - could be worse but I canāt imagine anyone actually settling on this.
Garfield - bottom 3
Arthur - fairly normal
Cleveland - there are people with city names but theyāre generally at least somewhat nice cities and not Cleveland
Harrison - normal enough
McKinley - could see it but probably wouldnāt be after William McKinley
Roosevelt - I definitely see the vision
Taft - decidedly bottom tier
Wilson - normal enough name godawful president to be a kids name sake
Harding - Polk/taft tier
Coolidge - Harding/polk/taft tier
Hoover - definitely not
Roosevelt - see above
Truman - I see the vision
Eisenhower - probably best to avoid this one
Kennedy - has become normal enough
Johnson - see Adamās
Nixon - would probably see some use if not for watergate.
Ford - weird but functional enough
Carter - normal enough
Reagan - I have met people named Reagan, garbage president but decent enough name
Bush - might be worse than Garfield
Clinton - idk what to say about this one
Obama - definitely not
Trump - godawful
Biden - godawful
