ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.

Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl's birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.


"I don't think she believes me yet," he told the Kingsport Times-News for a story to be published Tuesday. "It's going to take some more convincing."

Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to "to get the word out" about the campaign.

"I took one for the cause," he said. "I can't give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little."

1. Hope she grows up to be a raving leftist!

[JaneQPublic]

12. Just like her older brother, Jack Dole Kemp! (nt)

[YOY]

2. Recipe for failure: naming your child after an idiot.

Wonder what the "word" is that he is trying to "get out". Perhaps "imbecile."???

[Ian David]

3. It could have been worse...

They could have named her Sarah Hitler Palin.

[Richard D]

4. Isn't that . . .

. . . child abuse?

[GAtomboy]

5. HE took one for the cause?!?!?

What about this poor defenseless baby that is stuck with that loser name for life. Man I hope this is a bad joke.

[woodsprite]

6. Sounds like his wife didn't believe he did that. If I were her ---

well, you know how hormones can shift your moods? I'd shift his a few feet to the right.

[sellitman]

7. I heard the baby can see Russia from her crib.

And her first stuffed animal was a wounded Wolf.

Never mind.... I don't know what got into me.

[earth mom]

8. I'm gonna be ill now...

:puke:

[shadowknows69]

9. You're gonna have even less financial support to give after your divorce

At least I hope your wife is smart enough to dump your hopelessly dumb ass.

[LunaSea]

10. That's nothing.

My mil did social work in the counties surrounding Oak Ridge, (mind you, an enclave with among the highest percentages of Phd's in the world) for decades and told me of the numerous occasions of encountering young girls named "female" (pronounced like tamale) because the hospital had named them that on the birth certificate.
I shit you not.

[pitohui]

24. pretty sure that's an urban legend

as i have heard the same story told about black girls receiving that name in the new orleans area

i think your mother in law was having fun w. you on this one

[raccoon]

25. I heard that too in SC. nt

[Poll_Blind]

11. Can you feel the idiocy reaching critical mass?!

PB

[vanderBeth]

13. Poor baby.

[Dukkha]

14. check it's scalp for 666

I'm sure the baby's the anti-christ

[brentspeak]

15. That's child abuse

[damntexdem]

16. Poor kid!

When she's of age, she can petition to change her name.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. "It's going to take some more convincing."

Probably going to beat her if she doesn't like it. What a piece of shit.

Maybe he should ask himself why he can't give a lot of financial support.......other than he's probably an inbred idiot.

[cynatnite]

18. What kind of man goes behind his wife's back and changes the name of their baby? n/t

[Marrah_G]

19. I would be PISSED if I were that mother and I would demand it be changed

[edbermac]

20. Well, if she's married to this jerk, she's probably a Kool-Aid drinker as well.

Pleased to meet you, Mr and Mrs Moran.

[Lorien]

21. Just on the practical side, "Sarah Ciptak" sounds like a cartoon character

while Ava Ciptak-while not exactly sonorous- is far more agreeable.

[AlCzervik]

22. Ava Grace is a beautiful name.

[pitohui]

23. this is why you shouldn't fuck, marry, or have kids w. morans

i almost feel sorry for the wife...almost...but by child no. 3 she should have figured out what's causing that and what kind of father she chose for her family

it's the child i feel sorry for, but as a product of morans she'll almost certainly be a total waste of space of a human herself

one day we will figure out that stupid people should not be allowed to keep breeding, i guess we're willing to wait until it's too late
