No, I have no idea why I suddenly needed to know this. I just did. Herewith, all of the first names of US presidents, followed by a count, sorted both ways:
|
Abraham: 1 Andrew: 2 Benjamin: 1 Calvin: 1 Chester: 1 Dwight: 1 Franklin: 2 George: 3 Gerald: 1 Grover: 1 Harry: 1 Herbert: 1 James: 6 John: 4 Lyndon: 1 Martin: 1 Millard: 1 Richard: 1 Ronald: 1 Rutherford: 1 Theodore: 1 Thomas: 1 Ulysses: 1 Warren: 1 William: 4 Woodrow: 1 Zachary: 1 |
James: 6 John: 4 William: 4 George: 3 Andrew: 2 Franklin: 2 Abraham: 1 Benjamin: 1 Calvin: 1 Chester: 1 Dwight: 1 Gerald: 1 Grover: 1 Harry: 1 Herbert: 1 Lyndon: 1 Martin: 1 Millard: 1 Richard: 1 Ronald: 1 Rutherford: 1 Theodore: 1 Thomas: 1 Ulysses: 1 Warren: 1 Woodrow: 1 Zachary: 1 |
I guess that’s one more way in which the Democrats were historic this year. We’ve never had a Barack or a Hillary, but we’ve had plenty of Johns.
