What's in a name?

I am intrigued by the candidature of Mr Mitt Romney for the US presidency. In recent times at least, US presidents have had fairly sensible first names: John, Jimmy, Ronald, George, Bill, with only the occasional aberration (Lyndon).

But next year's primaries will feature the more exotic nomenclature of Barack, Hillary (peculiar spelling!), Rudi and perhaps even Condoleezza, as well as Mitt. I note that Mitt's full name is Willard Mitt Romney, so it is perhaps understandable that he calls himself Mitt (even if it does carry the danger of being labelled as a glove puppet).

Does any of this have any psephological implications? Probably not, but you won't catch me voting for a Mitt.
