Presidential middle names for those of you who are interested:


29. Warren Gamaliel Harding

Elves are real.

"It's a little feminine, obviously," wrote New York magazine's Dan Amira in 2008 after Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama chose Biden for his running mate. "It also sounds like some kind of miniature bird, or maybe a doo-wop backup singer."

Robinette is the maiden name of Biden's paternal grandmother Mary Elizabeth, and Biden has said that, according to unverifiable family lore, the Robinettes came to these shores from France in 1777 along with the Marquis de Lafayette.

Of course it is. I'm sure it's another lie. His entire existence is a lie.

"It's my grandmother Biden's maiden name," he said. "It's French. And it goes back a long, long way. Allegedly the Robinettes came over with Lafayette and never went home. I don't know that. We can't guarantee that." So he's not lying, but it might not be true either.

Man, I know a lot of inane presidential trivia, but I had no idea that Ford was born Ford. Or that Harding was of the High elves of Lorien.

Truman with a single letter middle name.

What a gangster.

Wikipedia also says Gamaliel is Raphael Warnock's middle name. Gamaliel (Heb. ), also spelled Gamliel, is a Hebrew name meaning "God () is my (-) reward/recompense ()"

In recent years the question of whether to use a period after the "S" in Harry S. Truman's name has become a subject of controversy, especially among editors. The evidence provided by Mr. Truman's own practice argues strongly for the use of the period. While, as many people do, Mr. Truman often ran the letters in his signature together in a single stroke, the archives of the Harry S. Truman Library have numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Mr. Truman's lifetime where his use of a period after the "S" is very obvious.

Mr. Truman apparently initiated the "period" controversy in 1962 when, perhaps in jest, he told newspapermen that the period should be omitted. In explanation he said that the "S" did not stand for any name but was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. He was later heard to say that the use of the period dated after 1962 as well as before.

I'm surprised nobody's commented on Obama's middle name.

It is. Just checked the wikitree for his Mother's name. Have to go back to 1669 to find a Robinett not born in the colonies or the states. And that one was named Samuel and was born in England.
