Sarah Palin has picked out an "All-American" set of names for her children. There's Trig, Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. I shall issue my criticism of these names in order.
Trig? TRIG??? What kind of a name is Trig? Why not just name your kid "something else" and be done with it? I mean, if we're going for stupid, why not go all out?
Track isn't even a name. Did Sarah Palin just hit the "random article" button on Wikipedia every time she had a kid?
Bristol is probably the least stupid name here, but having the best name of any of Sarah Palin's kids is a lot like being the smartest student in a school for retards.
The name Willow is confusing, since it implies that Sarah Palin is a hippy, which of course she isn't. I'll assume that she named her kid Willow to spite hippies, which sounds awesome, until you realize that she used her kid as a tool to make a political statement.
Piper? I hope she sent a letter to the principal stating that he can expect Piper to show up at his office every day with two black eyes and a broken nose.
I can understand giving your children weird names if you're a minority or an immigrant and have some distinct cultural identify you'd like your children to adhere to. But for people like Sarah Palin, whiter than white, why the obsession with giving weird/stupid names to children? It's not just her, this isn't a Sarah Palin smear thread, but why do some people give their kids these really weird names? Like hippies who call their kids "Starshine Moondance" or whatever.
Am I the only one who remembers what elementary school was like? Kids are cruel. When you give your children names like "Piper," you're practically begging your child's future classmates to beat the crap out of him on a daily basis. Yeah yeah, I know, nobody should be made fun of and/or beaten up for having a weird name. No one should die in a war either, but it's going to happen no matter how much we sit in a circle and sing songs about it. Maybe her kids won't, since she's the Governor, but any normal person anywhere else in America would have the snot beaten out of him for the first 12-16 years of his life for having such a name.
Whatever happened to real All-American names like Steve, Adam, or Brian? When did it become socially acceptable to essentially name your kid "vagina"? Why the need to force cosmetic uniqueness onto your kid instead of letting him go out into the world and forge actual uniqueness for himself in his personality?
