Chester Arthur, 21st President of the United States, and called "Walrus" by children who were fascinated by his whiskers
He was born Hyram Ulysses Grant, but a misspelling of his name at West Point gave him the name Ulysses S. Grant; his "government-issued" initials would cause his new friends at the academy to call him "Sam".
Theodore Roosevelt lived in the Badlands of North Dakota when a cattleman made the mistake of calling him "four eyes"; the physically-powerful Roosevelt would immediately teach him not to do it again.
A few years after he graduated from Eureka College, Ronald Reagan would land a role in the film Knute Rockne All American; his portrayal of George Gipp earned him the monicker "Gipper"

Nicknames for Presidents of the United States have been bestowed on these men since George Washington. Some are childhood nicknames - such as "Dutch" for Ronald Reagan - while others are political or military names given prior to reaching the presidency. Others are rather disparaging, and meant to insult the person in some degree by critics and detractors.
