That is because there are two levels for the Fe atom when made into ion form. Fe+2 is ferrous ion, and Fe+3 is ferric ion. If you are using the conventional name, you should indicate the level of the atom if it has more than one level. That is in the rule. But it woulb be better to use the classical name; which is Ferrous nitrate. If the level is the higher one which is three, you name it Ferric nitrate.
Regarding Barium; that is because the Ba atom has only one level when made into an ion, which is Ba+2.
Atoms are made into ions because they lose (positively charged/cation) and gain (negatively charged/anion) electrons.
Hope that helps. =)

RE:
Why do we call Ba(NO3)2 barium nitrate, but we call Fe(NO3)2 iron (II) nitrate?

the oxydation number of Ba is 2 while NO3 is 1
so when Ba and NO3 reacts it becomes Ba(No3)2
But there are 2 types of Iron,(II) and (II)
the Oxydation number of Iron (II) or Ferus is 2 while Iron(III) or Feric is 3
So when NO3 reacts with Iron(II) it becomes
Fe(NO3)2 or Ferus Nitrate or Iron(II) nitrate
when NO3 reacts with Iron (III) it becomes
Fe(NO3)3 or Feric Nitrate

You can call it as Ferrous nitrate--Fe(NO3)2-reduced form an the oxidised form is Ferric nitrate-Fe(NO3)3

because iron is a transition metal and barium is not. you need to specify the oxidation state of transition metal compounds because they are better able to have more than one stable oxidation state.
