James. There are 6 of them (possibly 5; Jimmy Carter went by his nickname in an officially capacity while President but was born James Earl Carter) The other 5 are James Madison, James Monroe, James Polk, James Buchanan, and James Garfield.

Next in line are John and William, tied at 4 a piece.

John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Tyler, John F. Kennedy

William H. Harrison, William McKinley, William H. Taft, and William Clinton (though Clinton, like Carter, preferred to go by his nickname, Bill).

A little additional trivia: Incredibly those 3 names alone constitute almost 1/3 (31.8%) of all the Presidential first names in our nations history. (Could have been even more had the last two Johns (Kerry and McCain) not both been defeated in the last 2 elections)and your mom
