Never heard of "Mitt" as a first name before. Mitt Romney's full name is Willard Mitt Romney. I would call myself Mitt too if the alternative was "Willard." Mitt though was named for an uncle or something who's real first name was "Milton," who preferred Mitt to Milton or "Milt." Okay.
Never knew a "Newt" either. I think there's a "gnewt," maybe a forest dwelling animal, I don't know.
Newt was born Newton Leroy McPherson :O He was the issue of a 16 year old girl and a 19 year old guy whose marriage dissolved shortly after his birth. Mrs. Newt then married an army guy, Gingrich, who adopted him. Newt was denied tenure at the Harvard of western Georgia :O :O That's pretty embarrassing. Once you're denied tenure at one place it's very difficult to get another academic job and if you're fortunate enough to get another job it's at some place several rungs down the ladder. There is no lower rung from West Georgia College. Thus Newt became qualified to be a congressman.
