The name Ivanka is a girl's name meaning "God is gracious". Ivanka and is often added to lists like Variations of John and discussed in our forums with posts like "Girls Makeover - Two Middles".
From the experts:
High-profile celebrity daughter Trump bears a nickname for her mother's name, Ivana. But though quite common in Slavic countries, and despite its exotic appeal, Ivanka is likely to remain a Singe-Celebrity name in the US--the Oprah of the political world--for the foreseeable future. Ivanka's larger impact on names may be inspiring parents to name their daughters after their moms.

I've blocked Daiseymae on Disqus. Their nastiness deserves zero attention from anyone.
FractalShadow Says:
It's cute. But I agree with Nameberry about it being a one person name. I think Ivana is less so.
Bobcat108 Says:
I see no other snarky comments from anyone on this thread aside from you. The only thing I agree w/you in this entire exchange is that it's time to move on.

There's nothing wrong with the name itself (duh)... but they're attacking the standard bearer of the name (which isn't ok either but I can't tell people what to say).
Years ago I learned it's also somewhat common in Cuba.
Daiseymae Says:
You can easily forget about the snarky comments from others that were made on here.. You posted one too. Pot meet kettle. It is time to move on.
Bobcat108 Says:
I'm talking about the thread on this page, not about what goes on in other places. You're the person who called people snowflakes & said they've got "Trump Derangement Syndrome." No one else on this thread has called anyone any names.
Daiseymae Says:
I didn't call them names. It is the crazies who do really nutty stuff like threaten to harm them. That is Trump Derangement Syndrome. I was pointing how their deplorable behavior compared to the complaints about Trump. Bad behavior on both sides.
Daiseymae Says:
I am just pointing out all the snarky comments made against this name. If that makes me "bitter", then so be it. I am perfectly fine with that.
indiefendi2 Says:
The ironic thing is Ivanka isn't even her real name... it's a nickname to distinguish her from her mother. smh who's the bitter one here? It's just a name!
Bobcat108 Says:
So in other words, in your opinion it's okay for you to call other people names.
NaomiNY Says:
Not my kind of name. If anyone likes it, that's fine with me, but I don't. Even if the name wasn't automatically associated with Trump, I still wouldn't like it.
Daiseymae Says:
Not when it comes to one certain name here. It takes all kinds.
Bobcat108 Says:
I thought we were supposed to be discussing names here, not name calling.
Daiseymae Says:
The liberals have not shown great behavior either. Look at Peter Fonda! Burning down buildings and destroying businesses, a man was arrested for threatening to kill children of conservatives today in Florida, and good old Antifa calling for border agents to be killed are all great examples` of wonderful behavior! All victims of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Bobcat108 Says:
I don't care what their names are...their behavior makes them worthy of disparagement.

I know who you're thinking about when you here this.
Daiseymae Says:
Forget the little snowflakes! They can't handle that Trump won, so they just want to disparage the entire family.
Daiseymae Says:
She seems like a fine lady to me.
EndlessZero Says:
That poor excuse of a joke kind of falls flat considering Ivana is his ex-wife.
EndlessZero Says:
Yeah, I'm not finding what's so deplorable about her.

Bitter
EvelinRose Says:
Would love this name if it wasn't for the fact that it's too associated with a certain businessman that I find deplorable
aso Says:
You're thinking of Ivana...
lesliemarion Says:
Reminds me of plagiarism. Oops, wait, that was the third wife.
