Several outlets report that the first name “Donald” is at its lowest point in U.S. baby-name history. The Independent and the Washington Times both describe a long-term decline, noting that the name’s popularity has been falling for nearly a century and has now dropped to a new low during Donald Trump’s second term. The Washington Times adds specific figures from the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA), saying that in 2025 fewer than 400 newborns were given the name on SSA card applications, placing “Donald” at 690th nationally. While the sources differ in emphasis—The Independent focuses on the historical trend and the timing with the second term, and the Washington Times highlights the ranking and 2025 count—they agree on the core points: “Donald” is currently the least popular it has ever been as a baby name, continuing a prolonged downward trend.
