Elizabethton Baby Named Sarah McCain Palin

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) - 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.“

Next week, the divorce proceedings start. . .

So he makes his oblivious children pay for his inadequacies?????

I’m sure the mother can change the name back.  I think Ava Grace is sweet.  I wouldn’t use it…but it’s sweet. 

A lot of good it does right now.  I’m thinking it would have been a neat trick if the kid had been born 16 years ago but the only word it will be getting out now is the fact that the father is bit of a nutcase.
