Ted Kennedy (“Sunburn”)
While it’s preferable to be able to choose your secret service nickname, sometimes an unforeseen event might lead to you earning your nickname without any input on your end. For Ted Kennedy, a long day out in the sun and a subsequent sunburn to end all sunburns led him to his aptly titled code name that has stuck ever since. Apparently, this wasn’t the first time he had forgotten to put on sunscreen, so the code name is not done in bad taste.
