List of US Presidents by name
You may know the presidents...but do you know their birth names? Several presidents preferred to use their middle name rather than their first name; I've marked these POTUS with an "*".

Great idea for a quiz! Just "Milliard" should be "Millard"

A lot of these aren't the Presidents first name because a lot of Presidents went by their middle name. Eg Stephen Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, John Calvin Coolidge

Thanks for the feedback! And I corrected the quiz so that it would accept either their first name or their more-commonly-referred-to middle name.

Who ever called Eisenhower "David"? David Eisenhower is his grandson (and Nixon's son-in-law).

@johnlk: Eisenhower's given first name was David.
