Secret Service codenames for West Wing characters

Secret Service codenames for West Wing characters - Civil utility and narrow body aircraft parked on runway tracks near modern airport building against cloudless blue sky

I've just finished watching Season 3 of The West Wing. In the last few episodes of that season the Secret Service have the codenames Flamingo for C.J. and Eagle for the President.

Do other characters in The West Wing have codenames, and if so, what are they?



Best Answer

The West Wing Wiki lists code names for only four characters:

President Josiah Bartlett: Eagle
Sam Seaborn: Princeton
C.j. Cregg: Flamingo
Zoe Bartlett: Bookbag

Wikipedia contains a few more:

President Jed Bartlet - Eagle or Liberty
Gus Westin (Grandson of Jed Bartlett) - Tonka
Arnold Vinick - Big Sur

There's also a reddit, but most of these seem to be humorous, rather than authentic.
