[[File:Chester arthur.jpg|right|150px|thumb|[[Chester Arthur]], 21st President of the United States, and called "Walrus" by children who were fascinated by his whiskers]]
[[File:Ulysses grant.jpg|right|150px|thumb|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".]]
[[File:Theodore roosevelt.jpg|right|150px|thumb|[[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.]]
[[File:Reagan graduation.jpg|right|150px|thumb|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.
