Naming children after political leaders isn’t just a trend in the United States.

Four per cent of the 1,305 people surveyed by the website said they would name their kids after U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May.

“Corbyn is the stand-out naming trend this year and a strong name encompassing both the surname as first name and political name trend,” the website’s founder, Siobhan Freegard, said.

The trend is also evident in Canada, as several Syrian refugees arriving in the country have named their newborns after Justin Trudeau.

In May, a Syrian couple living in Calgary named their son Justin-Trudeau Adam Bilal, after the prime minister.

“We love this man, we appreciate him,” said Afraa Bilan, according to the Toronto Star. “He helped a lot of refugees. He’s the reason we are in Canada.”

The popularity of politicians can often be linked to how many people name their babies after them, The New York Times reported.

The newspaper cited the example of Clinton, a name that ranked relatively highly between the 1970s and 1990s, but dropped in popularity after the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1999.

Whether the name Donald will see a bump in popularity remains to be seen.
