Ronald 
Scottish, English, "Powerful, mighty"
Ronald and Donald make an interesting pair. Running neck and neck in popularity since the 1930s, they each have a crazy-haired pop-culture icon weighing them down (Ronald McDonald and Donald Trump). If you can get past the hamburger clown, though, Ronald has several more distinguished namesakes, from Ronald Reagan to director Ron Howard.
