Mitt Romney's Real First Name Is Willard
January 1, 2008
Willard Milton Romney - born March 12, 1947 - alias "Mitt" Romney
Equipped with this new piece of information, detractors of "Mitt" Romney are trying to assess why a major Presidential candidate would campaign for office under an assumed alias.
On Romney's official campaign website biography, there is no mention of the name Willard. In fact, searching for the word Willard using his website's search function yields only one result: J. Willard Marriott.
Why would the former Governor of Massachusetts seemingly go to such lengths to distance himself from his own first name?
Recent research has led to a theory that Romney is avoiding his given name because of eerie similarities between the candidate and other famous people with the name Willard.
"It's not as if his real first name were Manson or Hussein," said a relevant source, "but there are certain correlations that voters could make between Romney and other famous Willards... correlations he wants to avoid."
Is Willard - alias "Mitt" - Romney like other famous Willards? You decide.
Other Famous Willards
Willard Stiles - Lead character in the novel Ratman's Notebooks by Stephen Gilbert and subsequent film adaptations including Willard (1971) and Willard (2003). The character is a social misfit who finds comfort only in the company of rats.
Willard Scott - Former weatherman on NBC's The Today Show. Willard Scott was also the first man to portray Ronald McDonald in a McDonald's television commercial. Scott credits himself for creating the now-famous character. His claim is widely disputed in the clown community.
Willard Kitchener MacDonald - Known as the Hermit of Gully Lake. This Willard was an unkempt recluse who, after jumping a troop train to avoid going to war in the 1940s, lived in a secluded hut by Gully Lake for nearly 60 years. Gully Lake is in Willard Romney's home state of Massachusetts. Coincidence?
Willard Christopher Smith, Jr. better known under the alias "Will" Smith - Actor (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) and rap artist ("Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"). A millionaire by age 20, Willard Smith admits to spending lavishly on jewelry and luxury cars. He once convinced the salespeople at Gucci to close the store so he could enjoy a private shopping spree (People Magazine).
Willard Richards - An early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement, a restorationist movement also known as Mormonism. Richards served as the private secretary to Joseph Smith, Jr., the founding prophet of Mormonism.
Presidential candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles and goofs of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.

Mitt Romney is the son of the x governor of Michigan. The nick name Mitt probably comes from the shape of Michigan which is a Mitt.

Re: "Mitt Romney's real first name is Willard"
Although Willard Kitchener MacDonald, the 'Hermit of Gully Lake' was born in Massachusetts, the Gully Lake where he lived until his death in 2004 is in Colchester County, Nova Scotia.

Rather than "mitt" why not "mutt?" After all he looks like a scruffy mutt from the pound. Mitt just sounds like a dirty oily piece of softball equipment, not like a presidential contender.

I think it more likely that Willard Kitchener MacDonald was an "unkempt" recluse rather than an "unkept" recluse. dictionary.com is a great site.
