Would you consider naming your child after a current political figure?
In 2025, seven baby boys were named Trump according to Social Security Administration birth certificate data. This marked the first time the name appeared in federal records, which only disclose names given to five or more children.
Why it matters
Choosing a name often reflects a family's political identity or values, with some parents selecting Trump to denote outranking or excellence. Conversely, the popularity of the name Donald has reached an all-time low.
Federal data recorded seven baby boys named Trump and 10 girls named Kamala in 2025. The Social Security Administration only reports names given to at least five infants annually.
The players
Social Security Administration
The federal agency that manages birth certificate data and publishes annual baby name popularity reports.
Donald Trump
The current President of the United States whose given name appeared in birth data at an all-time low popularity.
The details
The Social Security Administration tracks baby names by aggregating information from birth certificates filed across the United States. While the agency tracks all names, it restricts public disclosure to those used for five or more children to protect privacy. Because name selection is often tied to personal values or perceptions of public figures, the arrival of a new name in this dataset provides a snapshot of how political identity influences household naming traditions.

The Home Front
The emergence of Trump in the 2025 data marks a new, rare entry in the long-running Social Security Administration popularity registry. This trend aligns with larger patterns where parental naming choices frequently mirror current political climates or cultural icons.
Expect to see continued debate regarding political-themed naming as registries fluctuate with the national mood. Parents should remember that approximately 1 in 10 parents experience baby name regret and may wish to test a name with family members before finalizing a birth certificate.
The takeaway
Naming a child after a public figure is a significant decision that reflects the current political landscape. If you are choosing a name for a new arrival, consider its long-term impact before filing formal paperwork.
