Barack Obama: Renegade

Names for the Secret Service are selected instead of allocated to many of America’s most recent presidents. However, that doesn’t imply that in the dictionary, a president can choose any term. Code names for the Secret Service usually begin with a pre-selected letter, must have at least two syllables, and should be clearly pinched easily. He was provided a set of pre-approved names to choose from as his Secret Service detail was prepared for former President Barack Obama, all of which began with the letter R. In the end, Obama preferred to go by the name of “the Renegade.”

As the presidential tradition continues for decades, the rest of the family must fall into line if a president chooses his own Secret Service code name. And by that, we mean that starting from a pre-determined list with the same letter, they have to select a nickname. These lists typically differ from what the president presents to accommodate kids. The name ‘Renaissance,’ a name that channels her vision and creativity, was chosen by former First Lady Michelle Obama. Malia was given the name “Radiance” in that same vein, while Sasha was called “Rosebud.”
