Naming your kid Donald now a days is like naming your kid Adolf in the 1940s.

    I wouldn’t say Hilary’s poisoned. Matter of fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw a Clinton headline much less scandal. Also, my definitive Hilary will always be Hilary Banks lol

      Taboos can be positive, negative, or just reserved. For example in Judaism writing “God” is taboo, and Jews will frequently write “G-d”. Same with YHWH. They will not say the tetragrammaton. Instead many will substitute the word Adonai.

      Of course there are diverse groups of people. So for Hillary, depending on someone’s political persuasion could be a positive name, a negative name, or just so synonymous with her it’s reserved.
