Lady Bird Johnson.
Claudia Alta Taylor was born on December 22, 1912 in Karnack, Texas.
She was named for her mother's brother Claud, during her infancy, her nursemaid, Alice Tittle, commented, she was as "purty as a ladybird," and that nickname virtually replaced her given name for the rest of her life. Her father and siblings called her Lady, though her husband called her Bird.
On July 11, 2007, she died at home of natural causes.
She was 94 years old.

Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson. She earned her nickname because a family nurse or someone of equivalent status commented on her appearance early in life that she looked (as nice as) a lady bird, and the nickname "Lady Bird" stuck.

Her full, maiden name was Claudia Alta Taylor. When their daughters came along and to keep the LBJ "logo", they named them LUCY BAINES & LINDA BIRD. They wanted to do the same for their pets but thought that was going too far, so they just named them HIM & HER.
