OK, that one was a stretch. I think I heard it as a nick-name in my youth up here in midwest polka country...:{)

Oh please...........................LOL

Some people have given boys the mother's maiden name as a given name, of the last name of some famous relative, and blacks gave their kids the full name of presidents, once they were allowed to name their own children; however, TAYLOR, as a girl's first name is a new phenomena.

Polk was more than a "stretch"!

What is more common, amongst a certain strata, are names that could be in any order, for pols, like MCGEORGE BUNDY; two last names.

Harrison is also not a common first name.
