Mr. and Mrs. Scott Bush of Dallas welcomed a baby boy on November 3, 1980 — the day before the presidential election. They named him Reagan, making his full name Reagan Bush.
“We felt it was a unique opportunity to name him after two great Americans,” said Scott Bush.
The birth prevented Mrs. Bush from getting to the polls, but Mr. Bush voted — “For Reagan, of course.”
Ronald Reagan and George Bush ended up defeating Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale by a wide margin that year. No doubt this pleased the Bush family of Dallas very much.
