I love [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]. I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Donnie[/name_u], and at least in the US, it may be associated with DJT for the foreseeable future…

Oh! I didn’t realise, being outside of the United States. His name is [name_m]Donald[/name_m], though, and doesn’t go by [name_u]Donnie[/name_u], but I can see where you’re coming from. :slight_smile:

I really like [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]! It’s a grounded name with wonderful imagery. It gives me dark academia, green and blues, libraries, and foresty vibes! I’m not super keen on [name_u]Donnie[/name_u] (due to the president), but the Ninja [name_m]Turtle[/name_m] association is kinda fun and redeems it a little!

[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] is great! Also not a fan of [name_u]Donnie[/name_u], but I love [name_u]Van[/name_u] :heartbeat:

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_m]Jason[/name_m] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] (I’m from the U.K.). However, prior associations usually fade as your baby takes on the name.

[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] is ok but I love the nn [name_u]Donnie[/name_u]. Another option could be just naming him [name_u]Donnie[/name_u].

I adore [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] and it would be on my list, if I wasn’t in the US! I love that’s it’s a less common surname as a first name. I love the meaning (but I prefer “darker” meanings, this one so happens to literally be “dark” :laughing:)

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Donnie[/name_u] and [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]. It gives me relaxed yet serious vibes, something musical and cool about it

I think it’s really fun and would be exciting to see on a baby! I’m American but I personally wouldn’t have associated [name_u]Donnie[/name_u] with Trump, since he doesn’t go by that so far as I know and I have other associations, and certainly not [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], which makes me think of the singer more than anything. I definitely wouldn’t worry about that if you’re not in the US.

I like [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] but don’t care for the nickname [name_u]Donnie[/name_u].
