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

[ScoutJemAndBoo]

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

In his 90's with a girlfriend in her 70's, living it up in a fab house full of antiques, drinking amazing wine & brandy, spending all his hard earned money on holidays to France and fine food.

I think its a great name, but I might be biased.

I think of the 20 something brother of a friend of DD2's, the only one I know under age 60.

Also a lot of American politicians of a certain age, and Don McClean, American Pie..

I know four, from 60s down to a baby but I'm in Scotland too :)

I went to school with a donald in the 90s nn Donnie, that was also in Scotland.

I like it

Did no one else think of Howard Donald?

40's.

The only one I knew would be retired by now ~ 68

Late 60's to 90's I would say. Definitely not one that transfers well to a baby.

Mmmmmm....had a teenage crush on Donnie Munro of Runrig. I think all the Donalds I know are in their 40s or older, but it would be fine as a baby's name, too.

90s, because the only one I know is.

The Donald I know is 62.

My son is called Donnie ! It really suits him though i think! Hes 1yo and very cute and not at all scottish

Could be any age. I know loads, also in Scotland. I know one that is about 7.

I don't like it on young people though. Am English myself, and always think what an old person name it is when I hear a young person with it.

erm (cough) 43, Howard Donald

60

My FIL was Donald and he'd be ooh, 78 or so if he were still with us? Apparently he disliked his name. MIL told us this when dh announced one of ds's middle names would be Donald...

(He was always known as Don, btw.)

Donald duck
Donny Osmond

scottish with no trousers.

I only know two , one is about 7 and the other about 4

60+

I can't think of Donny Osmond as a Donald.

the first things I thought of when seeing your thread title was donald duck and donald donaldson from fonejacker

That he's just com doon from the Isle of Skye
Not very big but he awffy shy
And all the girls as he goes by
Shout

Donald is 50 and has no trousers.

I only know one: he's in his twenties and extremely talented. Hence I love the name!

My brother, 53.
Named after a favourite uncle.
I also live in Scotland (Highlands) and there's loads up here of all ages.
Most are Dons and Donnies for short.
