HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - Barack Obama may have a "funny name," as he once said - but it might just catch on among the nation's newborns.
A Florida couple became among the country's first to bestow it on their child, even before most news outlets had declared the Illinois senator the president-elect.
Sanjae Obama Fisher was born at 8 p.m. EST at Hollywood's Memorial Regional Hospital to Patrick and Sasha Hall Fisher.
In Maryland, a mother who went into labor Tuesday right after voting for Obama named her newborn daughter for the Obamas' two girls, 7-year-old Sasha and Malia, 10.
And In Arkansas, Benjamin Barack Kimbrough was born at 2:35 p.m. on Election Day to Walter and Adria Kimbrough. Walter Kimbrough serves as president at Philander Smith College, a historically black school in Little Rock.
