Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 23, 2026

President Donald Trump wants his name on most anything: money, buildings, airports, warships, even the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. But one item is increasingly out of reach: newborns. In 2025, the baby name "Donald" hit its lowest point of popularity in U.S. history, according to data maintained by the Social Security Administration and reviewed by NOTUS. The federal agency received fewer than 400 Social Security card applications for baby Donalds last year, making "Donald" the nation's 690th most popular baby name amid Trump's return to the White House for a second term. Even in Florida, Trump's new home state and a Republican stronghold, parents minted just 21 baby boy Donalds last year, at par with the names "Abner," "Enoch," "Neythan," "Ariun," "Eros," "Stone" and "Westley," and slightly behind the likes of "Mohammad," "Kash," "Brandon," "Maximus," "Keanu" and "Truce," among hundreds of others.

Soon the tail end on that list may read "Adolf," "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii," and "Donald."
