  • Whats next? Oilwell, or maybe Drill.
    What a stupid woman, she needs to stay home with that baby she chose to have.

  • If her kids were named Sunshine, Flower, Doobie, and Rainbow, the Repubs would never have her as a running mate. But, she still sounds like a hippie to me! In fact I’ll bet that there are thousands of hippies more qualified than her.

  • Trig is a Norse word meaning “true” and “brave victory.” It’s also a family name, the name is in honor of his great uncle, a Bristol Bay fisherman, while the name Paxson comes from the well-known snowmobiling area in Alaska, which Sarah and her husband Tom love.

  • Sorry if this duplicates—-Bristol — the bay where her father fishes (commercially)— Willow — the former potential “New” Alaskan capital — the “Center”— Piper — (Piper Cub) — very popular and dependable “Bush” Plane — Track— obvious reference to “First born’s” potential hunting abilities —Trig — My interpretation - Greek — Three—- referring to—the Trinity — Father, Son & Holy Spirit —- Tying together the Native American tradition of giving names with deep personal meaning and experience - and the belief than those with “Special Needs” are closer to God — Todd Palin is Native— Glad to see they didn’t name their kids from the list in

  • She is an independent ALASKAN woman with ALASKAN class. If you must know, I will do my best to explain the names. Track and Trig are family names from the Palin side of the family. Bristol is named for a famous fishing region of Alaska, Bristol Bay. Her father is a commercial fisherman. Willow is not named after the tree but for a tiny community a few miles from Wasilla. My favorite, Piper, is assumably named after the Piper Cub, the most popular aircraft in Alaska. So there. Classic Alaskan names.

  • So glad not every child is named Christopher or Michael, or a bunch or nonsensical phonemes stuck together. Personally, I prefer the Southern method— using maiden/family names for the next generation.. Gives a sense of who you are.

  • The plane would have had an emergency landing:) especially with an at risk child…
    There is no way this would have been allowed. Baby’s born with Down’s syndrome are high risk- often have medical problems as well,40% have serious heart problems.
    Her is a link to rules and advice for een not at high risk pregnancies.
    http://www.pregnancy-info.net/wellbeing_flying.html  ” the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends women don’t fly after their 36th week of pregnancy….LABOR… While the crew is likely trained for just such an emergency, or at least to help with childbirth, your flight will probably make an emergency landing at the closest airport to make sure you get the medical attention you need. “

  • As a transported new Alaskan (since 1996)
    I have been amazed at the independence and development in Alaskan kids. I think it is obviously promoted by their parents . I have often thought that it begins with naming. Many kids in Alaska have names that have strong meaning to families and communities, but might not be popular outside.
    These are real Alaskan names, with a history and relevance to Alaska. Look ‘em up!
    I say
    GO—Track, Willow Piper, Bristol & Trig!
