As far as codenames go, Renegade is pretty badass. That's Barack Obama's Secret Service codename: Renegade.
As for the rest of the fam:
- Michelle Obama: Renaissance
- Malia Obama: Radiance
- Sasha Obama: Rosebud
In case you're wondering, we aren't giving away any "sensitive" information here. The codenames are totally nonsecret. It's a holdover from when electronic communications weren't routinely encrypted. Now they only exist so Secret Service dudes can feel all cool and mysterious whispering "Renegade" into a wrist watch.
According to Wikipedia, the White House Communications Agency chooses codenames that are easy to communicate and understand while avoiding commonly-used words or words that could be easily mistaken. (Which makes them perfect S&M safewords. In fact Ronald Reagan is rumored to have used codename Rawhide whenever playing rough with Nancy.)
In case you're curious, here are a few other codenames.
- George W. Bush: Tumbler or Trailblazer
- Laura Bush: Tempo
- Barbara Bush: Snowbank or Tranquility
- Jenna Bush: Twinkle
- Bill Clinton: Eagle
- Hillary Clinton: Evergreen
- Chelsea Clinton: Energy
