Man Names Daughter Sarah McCain Palin
Tennessee Man Selects Name Without Wife's Knowledge

POSTED: 9:37 am CDT October 15, 2008


ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. -- Mark Ciptak is doing more than putting up a yard sign for the McCain-Palin ticket. He's named his daughter Sarah McCain Palin.

But he might get some flak at home. The Tennessee man said he ignored the name he and his wife had picked out for his daughter, who was born Friday night, which was Ava Grace.

Ciptak said when he filled out the paperwork for his new daughter's birth certificate, he substituted Sarah McCain Palin.

Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said his wife will still take some more convincing. He told his wife of the name Monday, after he was contacted by the Kingsport Times-News newspaper, which learned of the name through a routine birth announcement area hospitals give to the media.

Ciptak told the Kingsport Times-News he hopes to get the word out about the McCain-Palin ticket, thanks to little Sarah McCain Palin.

A representative of the Vital Records office told the newspaper that under Tennessee law, a birth certificate name can be changed within one year if an affidavit is filed with the office.

Although Ciptak has heard from many news agencies after selecting the political name, he hasn't heard from the baby's namesakes themselves.

"There's no hard feelings if they don't call because they've got other things to worry about. This is something they don't really need to speak on," Ciptak told the Kingsport Times-News.

2. Poor little baby.

If I was the wife, I'd divorce him before the ink dried.

3. The level of pissed off I would be

I'm pregnant so I can picture myself in this situation.

The level of pissed off I would be if my husband named my daughter ANYTHING other that what we'd agreed upon - this is beyond naming a child after her. Oooooooooooooh steam comes out of my ears just thinking about it. Of course my husband isn't like that or he wouldn't be like my husband.

Sarah is actually quite a nice name, aside from current political issues. But for God's sake you have to talk about this ahead of time. Ava Grace is a nice name too. And the "McCain Palin" is just stupid. Using your child's name as a political tool on either side is annoying. It doesn't bother me if kids are named after ex-presidents though - I know children named Regan and Kennedy after those presidents and that doesn't bother me at all the way naming a child after someone in a current presidential race does.

4. "under Tennessee law, a birth certificate name can be changed within one year"

A year from now, when Obama is in office, do you think dad will be ready to concede to the much better name, Ava Grace? Daughter will resent her dad forever if he doesn't change it.

7. Even if the birth certificate isn't changed...

My mother has never been called anything but Nina. It's on all her official documents except one: her birth certificate which says Anna. My grandmother also changed her mind with my uncle's name. The birth certificate is Victor Carl but all his other documents say Carl Victor.
