Wow, I think the amount of parting he has done has killed of a few too many brain cells. Naming your child after your favorite gun, I hope he has money saved for the psy bills

I have a feeling he really is a fool who thinks the tabloid people really like him and think that what he does is adorable. I have a feeling they are doing it to make the Palin's look bad. I don't know they need the help, but they seem to provoke the media's ire more than others. Some time it's going to be a shock when he actually has to figure out how to earn a living.

His fifteen minutes is up and all the money is gone. Im sure he feels too important for a real job.

After teaching for 20 years nothing surprises me anymore. We have Montanas and Dakotas even though they aren't our states although I can't imagine a kid being called Queensland. We have constant 'individualised' versions of a name eg Katelin, Caitin, Kaylin, Katelyn and Kate-lyn. My friend had 5 Ashleys in her pre-school class and they were all spelt differently! The sad thing is, these kids get upset when you pronounce or spell their name incorrectly. Poor kids. We have a Tiger and had an Elvis. We had a kid at my school before I came there whose name was "Abcde"…NO KIDDING! It was pronounced Ab-si-dee. Another one I've heard of is "L-er" pronounced Luh-dash-er. Seriously.
The way I see it, you might think a name is cool for a kid but what if the kid wants to be a lawyer or a doctor? Not so cute then.
"Please stand for Judge Abcde." Doesn't sound right to me.

LOL in defense of geography names (Dakota and Montana) I have a niece named Sydney

Yeah those are the kids that end up changing their names when they turn 18

A girl I used to work with had a stepson named Blade. In my opinion, that is not a name that promotes a successful career. I'm thinking that name sets him up to, at best, be a bouncer, but more likely a slasher. I just don't see Blade the CEO, or heaven forbid, the surgeon. That would not be reassuring when you have to go under the knife.
