I can only think of Mr Trump.

Am I the only one that thinks it odd that so many people associated with the Presidency have names that only Charles Dickens could invent ??? ...

Just a few examples ...
Coleman Smoot (lent $200 to Lincoln 1834)
Mr and Mrs Bowling Green
Thurlow Weed
Joshua Speed
Horace Greeley
Silas Cobb
Ward Hill Lamon
Franklin Pierce
Hannibal Hamlin
Jubal Early
...
Donald Trump
even Lincoln's step mother having the surnames of 3 presidents.

I guess none of us is perfect and I always think its wrong to comment on any oddity in a person's name. Even though I've just done exactly that.
