it dawns on me... is baron even really a proper name? did they really just name their kid a title.
my son's name is Governor. my daughter's name is Viscount.
She wants me to call her Vicky and she just got a nose piercing and says I'm chopped and washed??
Trump used the name 'John Barron' to 'leak' information about how rich he was and that sort of hype material to reporters in the 80's, he had to stop using it after a court made him admit it was him. To Donny it's a way of naming his kid after himself, and I bet after seeing how Don jr. turned out he really wanted another stab at that
Name's Baron, Robber Baron
Most of our names are either titles or descriptors if you go back far enough. I'd be surprised if this one hasn't been used plenty of times before.
If it hasn't that means Trump did something unique which I find difficult to imagine.
hey if people name their kids earl and carl, why not baron?
imagine if he becomes one; "Baron Baron Trump"
Technically he would be "The Lord Trump" or "Barron William Trump, Baron Trump" which is worse.
Gouverneur Morris was a Founding Father, early ally of Alexander Hamilton, and capitalist who made a fortune off financing the American Revolution.
And then you have Garfield's doctor, Doctor Doctor Bliss.
