HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) A Florida couple are among the first to name their child after the country's first African American president. Sanjae Obama Fisher was born at 8 p.m. Eastern Time a few hours before Obama was declared the president elect. The child's mother still got to watch the election, after 14 hours at the hospital.

regrets it. maybe his wife stopped him from doing it.

4. Nope, here's a baby born at 2:35 p.m. Tuesday named Barack:

From the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette "Paper Trails" column on page one of Section B, the "Arkansas" section:

"Name Game: Here's another election-related item. Philander Smith College President Walter M. Kimbrough and his wife Adria welcomed a son at 2:35 p.m. Tuesday>

"His name?

"Benjamin Barack -- named for former Morehouse College President Benjamin E. Mays, who eulogized his famed student Martin Luther King, Jr., and for the 44th U.S. President."
