His last name is Magyar?
His last name is basically "Hungarian" lol
Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.
That would be enough for some voters
I'd at least want to hear his policies regarding cheeseburgers first.
We're going to put a cheeseburger in every tummy, and deport all the vegetarians
Well, I don't agree with everything he says, but I do love a cheeseburger.
He said he's going to genocide my friends and neighbors but he also said he'd lower the price of cheeseburgers, so...
Hi, I'm David - the cheeseburger - American, and I'm here to smash patties!
you have my vote, and I am Jason Australian
We could've had a president McGovern though
The whole "Boaty McBoatface" thing is just a way of conditioning us for the next time someone named McGovern wants to run for leadership.
I'm gonna be the money president.
Is it fine if I just call you Dave?
"Mr. America" is fine.
Charles de Gaulle ahh name
Edit: !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk
Imagine François de Gaulle
There is Anatole De France.I like his well known quote.
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
I have to nitpick here. De Gaulle seems to come from flamish "De Walle" meaning "The Walls", which seems to have been mutated to " De Gaulle".

So, he is a colossal titan in geopolitics, then.
And it isn't even a crazily rare surname! We also have plenty of these:
Tóth, which used to mean Slavic, Slovakian or Slovenian (today: 'tót')
Horváth, which means Croatian (today: 'horvát');
Németh, which means German (today: 'német')
Szerb, which means Serbian; Rác, which used to mean Serbian
Bolgár, which means Bulgarian
Lengyel, which means Polish
There might be more, but these 6 came from the top of my head.
UPDATE:
Török, which means Turkish
Cseh, which means Czech
Like British comedienne Dawn French. The name doesn't necessarily mandate where they live.
Exactly. I'm Australian, even though my name is Billy Congo Free State.
It'd be like if Johnny America was running for US president
The most famous porn star in the Netherlands is called Kim Holland. Might not be her real name, but her fame shows a name can really help you get people to like you.
