The Secret Service takes a lot of risks for the first family. So it's only fair that the agency gets the honor of coming up with code names for the president-elect and his family. Various sources within the Buzz recently revealed the not-so-secret nicknames.

Mr. Obama will be known as "Renegade" (move over, Lorenzo Lamas). Michelle, a woman of many talents, will be referred to as "Renaissance." Malia Obama's name will be "Radiance," while little sister Sasha's will be "Rosebud."

And what of the Bidens? We were hoping the Secret Service would stick to the "R" theme and dub Joe "Rogaine." Alas, his name will be "Celtic." His wife Jill will be "Capri." A bit boring, but hey, nobody asked us for our opinion.

Too bad, because while we don't have the power to assign nicknames to the world's most powerful family, we can dig up the most popular nicknames in Search. Here they are below for your enjoyment. And if you have your own ideas for code names for the future first family, chime in below. Buzz Log, over and out.

If I get elected, I want to be “Pimp Daddy”. My wife can be “Linthead”. My son can be “Mo Ron” and my daughter can be “Ho Biscuit”.

"Rosebud..."

“Renege is a much better name.”

Just don’t use the common Midwestern pronunciation.

[utahagen]

This is all P.R. baloney. Why the devil would the Secret Service use code names that the whole world would recognize? How exactly would such names qualify as being in “code”?

[Velveeta]

See #15, seems the Secret Service has a flair for irony.

I heard (unofficially) that their code names for the Clintons were "White Trash 1" and "White Trash 2" during his campaign.

Downright Ghetto now .

[RichInOC]

Additionally, the presidential anthem has been changed from “Hail To The Chief” to “Renegades of Funk”.

I liked Gretchen Carlson’s comment on Fox yesterday morning. After listing the code names of Obama’s family, she asked if Biden’s code name was “Gaff.”
