Wilson's parents gave him the nickname 'Tommy', which he used until he was 16. Before he was two, the family moved to Augusta, Georgia. Despite his ill health, Wilson continued to entertain the possibility of running for a third term. Many of Wilson's advisers tried to convince him that his health precluded another campaign, but Wilson nonetheless asked Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby to nominate him for president at the 1920 Democratic National Convention.
