The 2012 U.S. presidential election was held two days ago, on November 6th.
The day before the election, Chris and Wendi Bench of Utah welcomed a baby boy and named him Senator. Wendi said, “I’m not really sure what influenced it…but I thought it would be a great name to give him a little bit of respect, with some room for scandal.”
And the day of the election, Millicent Owuor of Kenya welcomed twin boys and named them Barack and Mitt. “Several other new mothers around Kogelo also named their newborns after Obama, but Owuor was the only one to call her baby Mitt.”
