Since the time of Harry Truman, presidents and their families have been assigned security code names.
...
The Obama family has received its new—and alliterative—names: “Renegade” (Barack), “Renaissance” (Michelle), “Radiance” (Malia) and “Rosebud” (Sasha).
These not-so-secret names used by the Secret Service are chosen by the White House Communications Agency.
