HelpRe: Secret Service First Lady Code Names
in reply to a message by Raya
Rover? That's random even for such a seemingly random set of code-names.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Eleanor wasn’t the most attractive person. Maybe Rover is a reference to that? I wonder if she knew her code name?

Maybe rover just meant traveler, because she did travel a lot.
The only two presidential code names I know offhand are JFK was Lancer, and Reagan was Rawhide. Lancer and Lace, Rawhide and Rainbow, so they seem to be paired in some way?

I'm pretty sure they know their code names. I think they choose them from a list.
Apparently, Eleanor was "Rover" because she was constantly roving around the White House, working and doing things.
ETA: Nevermind, I just saw what you posted, below. Thanks for the info. :)
