If you hear the name Donald, what age do you imagine him to be?

Just wondering, in these times when 'old man' names are all the rage, what do we think of this?

I instantly think DUCK, but I would say 50s/60s.

I know a fair few Donalds of all ages but like you am in Scotland.

I think it's lovely for a little boy :) but then I do have a bias

Ps i know of two in their 20s, two in their teens and one little un.

I do live in Scotland though, which might influence it, though not the western isles where I am sure Donalds are ten a penny!

63 because that's the age of my great Uncle Donald

About 60 and Scottish.

Though Don makes me think of Don Draper in Mad Men so I think of it as being quite a cool name now.

I immediately thought of Donald Fisher from Home and Away. So it conjures up old and boring for me!

50's/60's. Actually it immediately brought to mind Donald the swinger from Benidorm.
