Personally, I'm inclined to use Kamala Harris' first name just because it's fun to say. It has a rhythm and repetition to it. Also, we've already had a President Harrison, so it distinguishes her.

With Hillary Rodham Clinton, I usually used her first name, initials, or full name to distinguish her from her husband. As much as I loath that she was always in his shadow, she was a force to be reckoned with. They may be a power couple, but she deserves her own recognition.

As for Tim Walz, Tim is just too common and uninteresting. Walz has character and it's close to waltz.

It’s pronounced like “walls” though 🤔
