Eleanor Roosevelt (“Rover”)
Although Harry Truman was the first to receive a code name, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt is often cited as someone who was referred to by a nickname long before it was official. During WWII, Eleanor was often called “Rover” whether she was organizing a social gathering or taking a meeting on behalf of the presidential family. Anybody who helped with the war efforts certainly earned their stripes, and their name in the history books of the secret service.
