[Facts] Delano?
This was Franklin Roosevelt's middle name so I suppose it surprised me a little that it wasn't listed. Maybe I shouldn't have been.I was very curious about the name, though, because I've never heard it used outside FDR. Does anyone know what it means or what the origin is?______________________________"....A simple I love you means more than money...."- Frank Sinatra
