Yet some with unusual names have climbed high on the ladder of well-known people.
Ulysses Grant, Millard Fillmore, Rutherford Hayes, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Dwight Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson and Lyndon Johnson, to name some.
I've wondered if their names contributed, in any way, to their fame.
“Tell me again how it is even remotely possible to despise this woman.”
It’s actually easy when you are an anti-America leftist who despises this country, despises God, despises liberty and despises babies so much the love to see them cruely aborted while in the womb.
God bless Sarah Palin and her family.
I have a sneaky suspicion that, if Bristol Palin had named her baby Da'Ron, you and all the other Palin Apologists here would've defended it as a fine name. If anyone had criticized it, you probably would've accused them of bigotry. ;-)
Noted.
“I love Sarah so much, but people need to stop making it seem as if it “cute” and acceptable to be a teenage mom.”
I don’t think Sarah is making it acceptable. She acknowledges the difficult challanges that lie ahead for Bristol and Levi. But Bristol is lucky to have parents like Todd and Sarah who obvisously be there for her and Levi.
And don’t knock Levi for finishing his high school work online. At least he is going to finish! Obviously it sounds like his mother has some serious problems and it sounds like the guy is just trying to make a better life for himself maybe and do right by his soon to be wife and son.
That'll be the next one.
Trafalgar?
That'll be the girl.
I like Sarah Palin but she and her daughter stink when it comes to giving names.
I was thinking of stealing Trig - boys names are so hard to come up with.
That's so true. It can happen in any family. I grew up in a very loving family, stay-at-home mom, Navy officer dad and we had boundaries, knew where they were and knew the consequences of crossing those boundaries.
And the same thing that happened to Bristol happened to one of my sisters. She and the father married about two months after the birth of my niece.
That sister is still happily married to the father of my niece twenty some-odd years later. My sis and brother-in-law both have great jobs, a lovely home and my niece is now married herself and is a special education teacher. I am blessed to have every one of them in my life.
Congratulations and best wishes to Bristol, Levi and the grandparents.
See Post #109.
Thank you Allegra. Another rare voice of sanity on this thread.
No, buccaneer81, I don’t hate anyone. :-) Well, OK, there are some people I do hate, but Gov. Palin is not one of them. ;-)
But the double standards have been very frustrating for a number of us. I had high hopes for Gov. Palin at first, but then more and more information came out, and the double standards started. IMHO, those double standards turned many voters away. All I’m saying is that we should not applaud people on the Right for doing exactly what we criticize people on the Left for doing.
And, FTR, I don’t particularly care what people name their children. Mine have traditional, conventional names. But, if someone wants to name their child Tripp or Da’Ron, I don’t really care. And it’s not my business if someone’s teenage daughter has a baby out of wedlock. God bless her. But, the people who are judgmental about other families in the same circumstances are applying a double standard when they stick up for this one.
Join the Catholic Church. A saint's name is required for baptism...at least that was required in the past.
No, I'm not seriously recommending a religion for you, but you might like the good old names.
not a troll but a retread (an admitted one)and something of a moderate and an antagonist
probably not a social conservative either just checking out some of his posts
Which already is the scenario being suggested over at DU. You really want to validate their Sarah conspiracy theories?
You may be on to something here, Tired
Some people are apostrophobic.

Nah, I’d like to see studley get some self discipline and trainging for life.
Good point. As an aside, some folks who wait until 32 or 37 to try for the baby get some really bad news. The bank account may be there but the fertility often isn’t.
