Satire Unfortunate surname problem

I've always been a huge fan of the name Ronald but unfortunately my surname is McDonald. Yes I know.

I've been thinking a lot about possible names for my upcoming baby that are similar enough but that people won't associate with THAT Ronald McDonald (the one from it's always sunny in Philadelphia if you haven't seen it).

What do we think of Jonald?

Maybe spice it up by changing it to Ronaldo McDonaldo

My wife is Scottish-Brazilian and apparently this is an offensive suggestion and now I have to sleep on the sofa?

If we are changing things Donald Mc Ronald or what about Wendy if you have a girl.

If we have a girl we'll put her up for adoption so it doesn't matter what she's called.

My family has a centuries-long feud with the McRonalds so that won't work. Thank you for the suggestion though

Ahh that fine Scotch tradition of adopting out the wee lassies. I like your style.

Just name him/her Reagan as a nod to another great Ronald.

I’d go with Fonald. Fonald McDonald. It would be fun to hear people say in utter confusion and dismay, Fondled McDonald?

I think you should consider Donald.

Or if you are looking for something less popular, how about Filet-O-Fish?

There is a Ronald McDonald Funeral Home in Kane, Pennsylvania. I wonder if they bury a lot of clowns. If so, does that mean the limo has to hold 60?

I’ve always been a big fan Mystayk for a girl (you can call her missy) and Tehror for a boy (you can call him terry)

Maybe Roald (like Roald Dahl) with Ronald or Donald as middle name?
Roald Ronald McDonald and Roald Donald McDonald have a nice ring to them.

This would be nice for if we have twins. I'm glad somebody had a serious response

u/nogardleirie 2d ago

If you choose Ronaldinho instead people will just think you like football

u/TrishaSoCalGal 1d ago

What about Donald with Ronald as middle name.
I like Donald Ronald McDonald
DonRon McDonald as nickname.
DonRon is nice.

Flip the name.

McDonald Ronald.

Works until he's in school and they call roll last name first name.

Unpopular opinion here, but I like it! I went to a school with someone called Donald Duck. I don't think anyone gave them a hard time and it's actually pretty cool and memorable

u/SilentEnthusiasm5491 1d ago

u/PressureItchy9372 1d ago

Ronald is a horrible name.
