White House Baby Names

Whether it is a holiday like Election Day or Veteran's Day, or your determination for your kiddo to become a future leader of our country, you may be considering naming your baby after a past president or first lady. But, have you considered the names of the children who have roamed the halls of the White House in their pjs for your baby-to-be? Check out this list of white house kids and you may find the perfect presidential baby name for your bundle of joy.

Children in the White House - Boy names
The names of many United States Presidents' kids who have called the White House their home are still heard today, such as Abraham, Allan, Andrew, Benjamin, Calvin, Carter, Charles, David, Edward. Imagine their first lady mothers calling out to Franklin, Frederick, George, James, Jessie, John, Marshall, Martin, Michael, or Neil as they tracked mud into the White House. Still today, kids with monikers such as Oscar, Patrick, Richard, Robert, Ronald, Russel, Steven, Thomas, and William probably got into the same type of mischief that the kiddos from the White House found themselves in.

Baby names inspired by White House Kids like Elliott, Eugene, Francis, Marvin, Smith, and Theodore are not getting as much face time in top baby name lists, but aren't so far out there that they will appear unique.

Other names of past Presidents' children like Archibald, Birchard, Donnell, Doud, Harry, Herbert, Irvin, Kermit, Lachlan, Lyon, Manning, Millard, Quentin, Rutherford, Tazewell, and Ulysses are more reminiscent of the eras they came from, and may stand out in a crowd.

Children in the White House - Girl names
The soft footsteps of the daughters of the country's past presidents were heard when names like Abigail, Anna, Anne, Caroline, Chelsea, or Eliza were called down to breakfast. Surely little ones like Elizabeth, Jenna, Julia, Julie, Katherine, Luci/Lucy, Malia, Maria, Natasha, Sarah and Tricia loved dressing up for their daddy's special events as much as little girls do today.

White house kids' names like Alice, Barbara, Dorothy, Elenor, Ellen, Esther, Helen, Jane, Letitia, Louisa, Lynda, Martha, Margaret, Mary, Maureen, Patricia, Pauline, Ruth, Susan, and Susanna may not be baby name chart toppers, but are still worthy of consideration when it comes to making one of the president's kids your sweet pea's namesake.

Finally, names like Fanny, Ida, Marion, Octavia, and Pearl round out the names of the children in the White House, but can sound dated if you pick one of these labels for your special delivery.

Choosing a name that represents past and present U.S. Presidents isn't limited to the men who sat in the oval office. Finding the perfect baby name for your baby-to-be amongst the names of the many White House kids can be just the creative twist on finding a presidential baby name that you were looking for!
