Names of US Presidents, First Ladies, and CEOs



     Most people in the United States choose names for their children for
purely personal reasons.  But celebrities and current events may influence the
choice of a name.  Boys and girls are named after sports figures, movie stars,
and television personalities.  Presidents and first ladies influence names, as
does the appearance of a comet.  During wartime, the names of the enemy are
avoided, while the names of allies and generals are very popular.  If you'd
like to name your baby after a prominent person, you might want to choose a
name from one of these lists:
