      1. Wait a minute. Is Barron Trump named for John Barron: a pseudonym that Trump used throughout the '80s but stopped using in 1990 when he was forced to testify that he was John Barron? Why would you name your son after your own pseudonym?

      My former surname is Barron so I've been fairly invested these past years in not tugging on the string of Trump's use of the name Barron and his familial links to Scotland.

    After some frantic Googling, I think it's OK. Trump's Scottish connections are to Clan MacLeod of Lewis rather than to my family's Highland clan. It seems to be just coincidence that he built his golf course 6 miles from the area in Aberdeenshire that my family Barrons are from.
