It's an annoying thing I've noticed on this message board over the years (and I don't know if you've been responsible for this in the past) where female politicians are only condescendingly referred to by their first name. See Rachel and Alison, but not Stephen or Tom or Jim or Naheed, though Trudeau does get referred to as Justin on here. Partly to presumably differentiate from his father, but also I can't help think that it's partly to play on his youth/inexperience/pretty boy looks.

I think it's a fame basis thing and not a gender thing. Truth is she's not the most famous Clinton in the world, she is however the most famous Hillary in the world, so we go with that. No one has called him Donald for a while, just Trump because he's the most famous Trump in the world, while Donald Duck is obviously the most famous (and smartest and least racist) Donald in the world. Kellyanne is....literally the only person I know in the world named Kellyanne.
