If you had a Secret Service codename, what would it be?

Joe Franklin.

T-Rex

Back in the days when I thought I was going to be the first woman president (to be fair, I was 16 when I came up with THAT brilliant idea…), I figured it would be Smurf, since that was my nickname at the time. Then I read that one of the Gore daughters had that as a codename.

I honestly can’t think of anything. Mr. Kat has suggested “that crazy !@#$%&* dog lady,” but I’m guessing that profanity isn’t allowed.

Superball! (Unless an agent already grabbed that for himself.)

That Psycho Bitch.

Or, if Katriona is right about no profanity, “That Psycho Bit…er…Lady”

Cooter.

'cause it’s makes me laugh.

Stiff white guy.

Who picks the names, the Secret Service or the one being named?

Siam Sam.

I’m not sure I would want them continually trying to figure out if they’re supposed to shoot me or not.

The point of a codename is that it should keep an identity secret. It should have no connection at all to the person, nothing that would identify them.

Mine would probably be “oven glove” or “rhombus” or something with no obvious connection to myself.

I’m surprised nobody’s said this yet.

If it’s supposed to be secret, why the heck do we know Barak’s codename?

I’ll take a name from Douglas Adams HHGTTG and choose “Mostly Harmless”, but since we can only have a one word name, I’ll go for “Harmless”.

One word, eh?
Then mine would probubly be wanker.

I’m surprised posts 13 and 35 fade in and out of visibility.

Hey lieu - my husband once had a pet pigeon named Peckerhead!

And I’m sticking with “Bob”.

In The Army I was dubbed “Dark Angel”

Now though? Probably “Velveeta.”

“The Cipher”. I always wanted to be a cypher. It’ll never happen.

oooh, I thought of another.

Wait for it…

The Decider.

I’m thinking “Frodo” is on the move.
Hmm, if I got shot and survived, they would have to say “Frodo Lives!”

Ok, maybe just “Jimmy the Geek”.
