Chelsea Clinton was named after Chelsea Hotel #2

[Goldin]

There're two versions which song inspired the Clintons so much that they named their only child Chelsea.
So, was it "Chelsea Morning" by Joni Mitchell (main version, e.g. - 2005 Forum discussion) or "Chelsea Hotel" by Leonard Cohen?

Chelsea Clinton's own words, as they are quoted in The New York Observer:

The wedding will take place in Rhinebeck, New York, which is part of Dutchess county, a dutchess being just what I would be if America had a proper class system. Also, Rhinebeck is the birthplace of Rufus Wainwright, which reminds me that I need to email him to get him to come and sing that Leonard Cohen song Dad likes so much. Oh no, Mom is the one who likes “Hallelujah.” The one Dad likes is “Chelsea Hotel.” He told me that’s really how I got my name (not Joni Mitchell’s “Chelsea Mornings,” another of Mom’s “convenient fictions”). He really likes the beds there. Maybe Rufus can sing that, too.

I guess, actually it was a compromise decision, so both conjectures are right

You do realize that that article was meant as a joke, don't you?

No, I don't Thanks for clarifying that.
