Do yu know somebody with that name? What do you think of it? And do you think that it is still usable?

It's not excessively overdone... I'm not in love with it, but it has a positive image as far as the people I know with the name goes... Could be done...

My grandma's name is Donna.I think it was a really nice name in its time, but I don't like it for today. IDK why, I just don't.

Yep, I know one person named Donna.Mm, Donna's got a weird image: I sometimes say in an ironical way something like "...and he was holdin' such a deluxe donna with blonde hair, blue eyes and looooooong legs". Donna is for me a name for a female, attractive but kinda cheap-looking/behaving person.Yeah, except that one thing I find Donna quite useable and I'd love to see in in some BA.

Love it!I've never met a Donna before, but I think the name is lovely. I definitely think it's still usable, and I've never really seen it as dated to begin with. When I was little, I named my favorite Polly Pocket Donna. :-)

I only know one person with this name and it's an admissions counselor at a college I've recently applied to. That said, I find the name to be very nice, and definitely think it's still usable. If you're worried about it being dated it sort of is, but not to a specific time slot it was popular from the twenties to the seventies.

I don't like the sound of it and it feels dated. The only Donna's I know are over 50. I do know someone named Dana who pronounces it like Donna, but this always felt strange to me.

I know a Donna who's in her late sixties. She is a very spunky person, so the name has good associations for me. I think it's definitely a usable name today. Now that it's no longer overused, I think it has great appeal. I would rather see a little Donna than another Emily or Addison!

Never met a Donna. I'm not a fan of the name, seems dated to me.
