HelpRe: Ronald
in reply to a message by Lily
I've never actually met any Ronalds. I do quite like it though.
Ron Weasley is a plus, but Ronald Reagan and Ronald McDonald might be a bit of a minus, depending on your POV. Also, I just looked it up and was amazed to find that Ronald was still in the England & Wales top 100 in the 60s! - for some reason I had been thinking of it as very much a 1930s/40s sort of name. So I think it's still going to be associated with older people for a while yet.

Haha it was still in the top 100 in the US in the 90s! I was really surprised...

If it was the late 90's, maybe 'Harry Potter' had something to do with it?

early 90s! It left the top 100 in 1991 but was still in the top 100 in 1990. But Harry Potter might have something to do with the fact that it went up a little in 2011. Also I would expect this to be much lower (about as popular as Donald or Harold), but it's still 300-something.
