Re: Presidential Full Names
in reply to a message by vigdis
Some of the early ones didn't have middle names, but the 20th century ones certainly did (I'm confused by this post frankly, since you're American and some of them went by the middle initial, like JFK or FDR?).
Here's the list of the rest of them:
John Quincy Adams
William Henry Harrison
James Knox Polk
Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant)
Chester Alan Arthur
Stephen Grover Cleveland
William Howard Taft
Thomas Woodrow Wilson
John Calvin Coolidge, Jr.
Herbert Clark Hoover
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Harry S. Truman (he had just the initial)
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower
John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy
Lyndon Baines Johnson
Richard Milhous Nixon
Gerald Rudolph "Jerry" Ford, Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King, Jr.)
George Herbert Walker Bush
William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton
George Walker Bush
Barack Hussein Obama II
My all time faves are Gamaliel and Delano.

I just did the interesting ones.
Fitzgerald & Delano are really well-known.
So I didn't - plus I didn't type up the list. My husband did and he told me it had to be under 10 names or less.

They may be well known, but they are still interesting.
I don't think I've met anyone with the middle name Fitzgerald or Delano IRL, so I don't know...I think they should be included on the "interesting middle name" list, even if everybody knows them. JMO.
