How many U.S. presidents have been named James?

If you want your kid to be president, name him James. Your odds are fairly high considering 15% of Presidents have had that name. Since the first US president in 1789, there have been six James as president: James Madison, James Monroe, James Polk, James Buchanan, James A. Garfield, and James "Jimmy" Carter.

If you have a second son, you can choose John. The five presidents named John include John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Tyler, John Calvin Coolidge, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Maybe names starting with "J" is the trick.
