*Connected to President Lyndon B. Johnson was married to Lady Bird - According to Wikipedia:
"Though she was named for her mother's brother Claud,[5] during her infancy, her nurse, Alice Tittle,[6][7] commented, she was as "purty as a ladybird,"[8][9] which is a brightly colored beetle commonly known as a ladybug in the United States.[6] That nickname virtually replaced her actual first name for the rest of her life. Her father and siblings called her Lady,[10] though her husband called her Bird, which is the name she used on her marriage license."
Thanks for looking. Would love to know what you think.
