Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.) was bestowed with his nickname, “Buck,” — after Buck Rogers — shortly after his birth, and now the next generation of McKeon’s family has taken to using the name as well.
“My dad, he was kind of a cowboy, he wanted to name me Buck. I was his first son. And my mother worked on him for nine months and finally said, ‘What about Howard?’ But they’ve always called me Buck. Some nicknames stick. Now I’ve got a nephew Buck. I’ve got a couple of grandsons named Buck. We’re spreading it out.” — Buck McKeon
