"I was supposed to be named Harrison Shippe Truman, taking the middle name from my paternal grandfather. Others in the family wanted it to be Solomon, taken from my maternal grandfather. But apparently no agreement could be reached and my name was recorded as Harry S Truman.”
-Harry s* Truman

•   NOTE: Due to the “S” not standing for a name, no punctuation is needed.

Truman is the only president to have such a middle name.

Just an historical fun fact.
