Sarah, Trig, and Bristol

[msmemory_archive]

In the last week, I have gone from snickering at John McCain's choice for veep, to wondering whether he actually intends to keep her. What if she demurely says "Under the circumstances, Mr. McCain, I feel I can no longer stand as this party's nominee for vice president."

He gets the points for suggesting a conservative and a woman. She gets press. Then he can go back to a secret Plan A and choose another old white guy, during the convention, and claim it's all to mend things up. He can back away from the baby scandals and the brother-in-law and the polar bears, and pick a less-Right guy more like himself, having "shown" that he supports women in high office.

And who in the hell names their child "Trig," anyway?

Or "Bristol" for that matter.

Having grown up in a family of weird names (and being the possessor of one) those look pretty normal, to me.

I wouldn't mind "Bristol," (no worse than Chelsea or its ilk) but the first time I heard the baby was "Trig" I figured it was a typo for "Trip," and he was actually Fathers Name III.

At least "Trip" is a verb. I don't know what the hell "Trig" is. A typo? (Like you said? :)

Meh. I'm just old fashioned. I named my children Shirley, David, and Joshua. How ordinary!

"Trig" is part of geometry. At least there's not a child named "Drome."

At least there's not a child named "Drome."

You sure about that? LOL

Do you give any credence to the Grandson theory? (& that Bristol named the baby for her trigonometry class?)

[cvirtue.livejournal.com]

Hadn't heard the part about trigonometry class; I was just being silly (hence the retread of my Palin, Drome joke.) I think somewhere I read that it was a family name (as if that excused a stupid choice; my SIL is named Sutton and her daughter Porter for that reason. *rolls eyes* )

I have no opinion about the "grandson theory" except that if Bristol really is 5 months pregnant, and Trig is hers, there's some very close timing involved indeed.
