Rejected Secret Service Code Names For The President And First Lady
The agency has settled on “Mogul” for Donald and “Muse” for Melania, but those weren’t the first choices
In November, the Secret Service asked agents to suggest code names for the new president and first lady. The agency specified that both nicknames had to start with the same letter, as has been the custom for the past twelve presidential couples. They received a record number of submissions.
Some name pairings sounded regal, most were unsuitable and ultimately rejected…but still pretty funny. We’ve posted the rejects here, along with accompanying agent rationales.
