Obsessed With the Kennedys? We Found 75 Names Used in Their Family
Love everything about the Kennedy family? These Kennedy-inspired baby names are as iconic as the famous family that still captivates us all. From the Kennedy matriarch, Rose, to President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, there’s a name associated with them that is sure to resonate with you.
The Kennedys came together when Irish-Americans Joseph Kennedy Sr. and Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald married. The family has since become known for their contribution to politics, with the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960, to their glamorous lifestyle with Jackie Onassis and the famous “Kennedy Compound” in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Of course, along with the glamour came the tragedies, including the plane crash that killed John F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the assassination of his father JFK.
