HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A Florida couple became among the country’s first to bestow Barack Obama’s name on their child, even before most news outlets had declared the Illinois senator the president- elect. Sanjae Obama Fisher was born Tuesday evening in Hollywood to Patrick and Sasha Hall Fisher.

In Arkansas, Benjamin Barack Kimbrough was born on Election Day to Adria and Walter Kimbrough, president of Philander Smith College, a historically black school in Little Rock.

In Maryland, a mother who went into labor Tuesday after voting for Obama named her newborn daughter for the Obamas’ two girls, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. Lakisha Brown of Joppa gave birth to Sasha Malia Ann Taylor early Wednesday.
