Also love Malcolm, after the Australian PM, but I don't love his politics so if I did go with that name I'd keep it a secret :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2462305 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:42:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2462305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reagan and Pierce!</p> <p>A decade ago my list would have included Kennedy, Madison, and Jackson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2462250 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:56:00 +0000 fussygal 2462250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're using a president name for our DS due in a month!

Same with the name Harrison and Hayes. I did try to convince DH we should use the name Jackson, but in reference to Stonewall Jackson, not Andrew Jackson. </p> <p>I once met a family where all of the kids were named after presidents - I think it was Reagan, Kennedy, Madison, and maybe Carter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2461965 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 12:43:38 +0000 lady baltimore 2461965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO would have been Calvin if she were a boy.

But we just liked the names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2461857 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 10:51:32 +0000 Smurfette 2461857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used one already but just cause we liked it not after the president. One name we are considering if the next baby is a girl is presidential but she would be named after a family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2461850 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 10:48:09 +0000 ms.line 2461850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If LO turns out to be a boy, his middle name will probably be Ulysses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-presidential-names-would-you-use#post-2461844 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 10:41:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 2461844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Truman and Harrison!
