I'm not sure who (if anyone) would find this interesting, but I ran across a list of Secret Service Code Names used over the last 30 years or so.

My favorites are Barbara Bush, Amy Carter (only because of the irony there), Dick Cheney, Walter Mondale (who knew he was a monkey barner?), Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan.

You'll quickly notice they use the same letters for families. As I said, most are just words with no implied meaning to the person, but you can't tell me someone wasn't smiling, at least occasionally.
