It looks like parents are taking a political stance when it comes to naming their babies. According to Refinery29, the first lady and first daughter's names have made a surprising jump in popularity. In fact, the name "Ivanka" grew in popularity by 362% since 2015. In the same time, the name "Melania" rose in popularity by 227%. But in the popularity contest that is politics, there's more: the names "Donald" and "Eric" dipped in the polls.
The website Areavibes combed through the Social Security Administration's released data to unearth the trends. Refinery29 adds that the whole situation may not be entirely political. Parents have been trending towards more unique names, which could be why established ones such as Donald and Eric have fallen out of favor. "Donald" dropped in popularity by 11% and "Eric" by 6%. Politics aside, Melania and Ivanka stand out just enough in a world of Tiffanys (that name fell by 17%, by the way).
Associated with elegance and refinement, the first lady and daughter are more connected to peacemaking than policymaking, which could be another reason their names have gained some traction.
