[Opinions] Too much baggage...

I have only known one person named Baron and he was not very nice. Now the name has the added baggage of the Trump association. I just have no pleasant thoughts related to the name at all. Not sure how I'd feel if those two things were absent.

Oh aye, Trump's kid is named Baron isn't he? I don't immediately think of Trump when I hear Baron, personally, I see "The Baron" aka John Mannering;

I've not seen much of the series (my parents love it), but I still think of an undercover agent as opposed to a spoilt rich kid. Or whatever Baron Trump is like, I presume people have an opinion on his person outside of his father (I don't, I forget his existence clearly lol)

Anyway I don't like Baron as a name. I don't like any title as a name unless they're on pets. For a certain group of people (mostly those who reside in America), I agree "Baron" might be seen as too close of a connection to Bad Florida Man regardless of our thoughts on the name itself.

Baron Trump is still a kid, so I can't judge him as a person yet. My fondest wish is that he will turn out well in spite of his family. But when I hear Baron, I definitely think Trump.

Oh is he? I thought the photo I saw of him was from the early 90s

I mean the decor is gaudy enough .... or is that another kid?
