...if they really don't understand the nuances that make those sorts of names cool/ominous.

Y'know, like if a Bond villain lair has a name with two or three meanings, but the exec only understands one and is completely ignorant of the others.

So better to say Mar-A-Lago has a name like a knock-off imitation Bond villain lair.

To go with Trump's entire cheap-knock-off vibe.
