I, like most other Americans, just think of Woodrow Wilson. Most of them probably don't know that Woodrow was actually his middle name, his first name being Thomas. And Woodrow was his middle name because it had been his mother's maiden name. And that's the type of name it is. It's a surname-acceptable-for-middle-name-use-if-it's-a-family-name. Not to mention, pretty much a one-person name. And kind of nerdy, which Wilson was. I want to like him because he was the Governor of New Jersey before he was elected President, and is as close to a President-from-New-Jersey as we've had, but he was actually a Southerner and a racist.
