Girls:
I love Eleanor, but DH vetoed this.Boys:
William is DS' name.
Theodore is our runner up - but reminds me too much of the chipmunk
I also like: Carter, Quincy, Grant, Lincoln. -
I love Truman and Harrison! And Lincoln and William, and Theodore was on our short list!
DD's middle name is Eleanor for Eleanor Roosevelt!
-
If LO turns out to be a boy, his middle name will probably be Ulysses.
-
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.
-
The names we used for each of our two boys are the top two most frequent first names of presidents - John & James. But we just liked the names.
-
We already have a John (Jack) but some of my other favorite boy names are on this list -- Henry, William, George, Theodore (Teddy). My favorite girl name is Caroline, also on the list.
-
LO would have been Calvin if she were a boy. And one of her NNs is Ladybird.
-
I used to like the name Reagan, but the connection to Ronald Reagan never even crossed my mind. 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.
I once met a family where all of the kids were named after presidents - I think it was Reagan, Kennedy, Madison, and maybe Carter.
-
@Smurfette: Im so sad DH is saying he wants to veto it! Its still a top runner for me and I hope I can get him to come around.
-
So....presidential names=stuffy old white man names, to me, HAHA.
Gerald
Bernard
George
William
Theodore
Ulysses -
We're using a president name for our DS due in a month! That's not why we chose it, but it happens to be one
-
Reagan and Pierce!
A decade ago my list would have included Kennedy, Madison, and Jackson.
-
Not presidential but if I have another son I would definitely name his Justin after PM Trudeau! 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
-
@T.H.O.U.: I didn't even think of this but my girls both have names from that list (Mrs. Roosevelt and a young Kennedy)
-
Our top boy and girl names are both "presidential". Lol. DDs name is on the list that was posted too.
I'd use:
Franklin
Truman
Theodore
Lincoln
Harrison
Virginia
Caroline
Claudia
Lucy -
We used a presidential last name as a first name for our first ds (not in honor of the president; just because we liked the name).
-
Theodore
Kennedy (but it's too close to DH's name)
Calvin
Benjamin (used it for my first)
Elizabeth (used for my second)
Caroline (used for my third)
