Code Names

It seems that these are the Secret Service code names for the first and second families:

President-elect Obama: Renegade
Michelle Obama: Renaissance
Malia Obama: Radiance
Sasha Obama: Rosebud
Vice President-elect Joe Biden: Celtic
Jill Biden: Capri

If Jill is “Capri” that suggests that Biden is Celtic like FC Celtic rather than Celtic like the Boston Celtics (i.e., keltic rather than seltic) which, to me, is a huge affront to basketball fans everywhere. Or perhaps it should be seen as a slap in the face to Boston sports fans, in which case it’s a good thing.
