Between 2008 and 2009, for example, “Barack” skyrocketed in popularity. Soon, the Social Security Administration will release its ranking of the most common names of 2017, but until then, there are a few predictors suggesting “Donald” won’t be a popular baby name. The drop in baby Donalds fits a pattern since Trump first declared his candidacy for presidency.
