I did this last year, and it was hilarious, so I want to do it again.
I like to think about the funny Secret Service Code Names people have had in US history and thought it would be fun to hold a contest around the idea. In a break from my own tradition, the winner for this contest won’t be chosen by the raffler. You’re gonna have to make me laugh. Out loud.
Read Carefully.
Scenario
You and your family suddenly find yourselves in a position that requires immediate secret service protection. You have 48 hours to choose a Secret Service Code Name based on actual Secret Service Code Name protocol.
These are the official word/name guidelines:
-
Unambiguous words that can be easily pronounced and readily understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language.
-
Avoid the use of common every day words which could likely be intended to mean their normal definitions such as Lunch/Meeting/Car/Shower/Drink/Eat/Raining etc.
-
All family/household members' code names must start with the same letter.
-
Every family/household member including pets must be given a name.
You are not limited by marriage or blood relation. Anyone who lives in your household qualifies.
Rules
- Tell me what put you in this position. Use your imagination .
It can be a serious situation such as running for King of The United States because you want to abolish democracy and create a patriarchy, an in depth conspiratorial situation where Venusian women are after your dna to create hybrid alien babies, or a simple and funny one like you discovered the secret blend of spices used in Bush’s Baked Beans and now Duke is coming to terminate you before you can sell the secret.
-
Tell me your chosen letter (see name rules above) and list each of the names you’ve chosen for your family members and pets.
-
Must have gifted in the past 30 days and have an intro prior to today, November 8th.
-
Don’t be an eggplant emoji
-
Have something reasonably affordable on your list that you think I would see and say ‘Oh that’s neat! I’d really like to gift that to someone!’
-
Tag your friends, or some strangers.
Contest ends November 11th. I’m giving you 48 hours as noted above, plus a little wiggle room.

I couldn’t find it on Google or The West Wing Wiki. So what do you think it would be?
- President Bartlet - Eagle
- C.J. - Flamingo
- Sam - Princeton
- Zoe - Bookbag
- Josh - Motormouth, changed to Phoenix after being shot
- Senator Vinick - Big Sur
- President Bartlet's grandson - Tonka
- Bob Russell - Bob Russell
Did I miss any?
I guess the secret service want to wipe the floor with donny once and for all
Every President has a code name they are referred to by the Secret Service. Usually they make the code name to reflect something about the President.
Reagan was Rawhide because of his past as an actor in Westerns, Trump is name Mogul, JFK was Lancer as his Presidency was compared to Camelot.
What would be a good nickname for Andrew Yang?
We are fearless.
I hope this isn't too "low energy" of a question. I wonder what Pete's secret service codename will be. Personally I really hope for dragon. You know because of Pete's Dragon. Shouldn't get to far ahead of ourselves but grassroots are how countries are changed.
