Again, two classic Scottish names. Donalbain is the name of a much beloved uncle we lost during Covid so is close to my heart. Donald is more common. Both I like.

I would avoid anything Donald in this era. It's like calling your child Adolf

Hardly prejudice, is it?
He's a vile, abusive monster. Who in their right mind would name their child with his name?

So all those people saying to not use Donald because of Trump would also advise not to use Andrew or Jeffrey because of Jeffery Epstein or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? Never use Jimmy because of Jimmy Saville? Come on, folks. Where do you draw the line? It’s a classic name that has served a lot of Scottish men over time. Nothing wrong with it. Examine your wee, prejudiced heads.

Avoid Donald because of the Trump.

Go with Donalbain or maybe consider Dougall as an alternative

Donald/Adolf, tomato, tomato.

Donalbain, if you love it.

Macbeth or Macduff?

Not Donald right now, Scotland or not, unless of course you like Trump?

How is Donalbain pronounced, Is Donal the same as Donald without the 2nd d and bain as in pain? Or does the 'Do' part rhyme with 'low' ?

Dough-nall-ban, Don-ull-bain, Donald-bain...It'd be nice to name the baby after a loved one.
