Just seven boys were called Donald in Scotland last year as President Trump's first name lost its appeal.
Like many traditional names, Donald has been increasingly unpopular in recent years, according to data from National Records of Scotland.
But experts believe Mr Trump's divisive politics have put off even more people. Carole Hough, professor of onomastics at Glasgow University, told Scotland on Sunday Donald was declining faster than Patrick and Charles. She said: "It seems Trump has accelerated the decline."
Mr Trump was named after his Scottish grandfather, Donald Smith. Former Edinburgh council leader Donald Anderson responded: "We need a character in Game of Thrones to make it popular again."
There were 127 Donalds named in 1977 and numbers have averaged at around 20 a year since the turn of the century. The name is ranked 442nd, alongside Che, Eden and Lomond.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
