WI: US Presidents had royal nicknames (e.g. "The Great", "The Fat", etc.)?

The Latinised names are a cool idea, but those above aren't sound Latin and you know it. More like:

-- Georgius Washingtonius Cincinnatus (more properly, in fully Latinised form: Georgius Vasintonius Cincinnatus)

-- Ioannus Polkius Mexicanus [EDIT, thanks to @James XI: it should be Iacobus Polkius Mexicanus]

-- Wilhelmus Kinleius Hispanicus (McKinley is hard to Latinise, but I'm fairly sure the 'Mc' is typically dropped when names are Latinised)

-- Franclinus Rooseveltius Germanicus

-- Haroldus Trumanius Iapanicus

-- Dionysius Eisenhoverius Germanicus (Fun fact: "Dwight" comes from "Diot", which comes from "Dionysius")

Ioannes Cenetius Pulcher Cubanus

Georgius Rubus (from "rubum," apparently bush) Senior (et Junior) Mesopotamicus

Lindonus Filioannes Asiaticus

Ricardus Nixonus Mendax

Abraham Linconus Honestus Dixonicus Emancipator Magnus

What if the US Presidents had developed royal nicknames?

So that the nomenclature isn't too similar to monarchies, instead of being referred to by their first name and the nickname, the presidents are referred to by their last name and the nickname (e.g. "Washington The Great") or by their full name and the nickname ("Abraham Lincoln the Emancipator").

So what would each Presidents royal nickname be?
This link might given you some ideas:

If we want to keep the names alliterative, then I think "Lincoln the Liberator" would be a nice fit.
