Sarah Palin has her next baby's name picked out

Remember the Sarah Palin baby name generator? I suspect Governor Palin has been using it as well. Recently, the potential second-in-command of these United States told People Magazine her plans for her next baby's name, should she have one. Given her background, her pride at being a "hockey mom," and the unusualness of her other kids' names, it may not be that big a surprise, however.

"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," said the vice-presidential hopeful. She also told the magazine that she considers herself an intellectual.

Now, I'm as big a fan of unusual names as anyone, but naming a kid after a large machine -- what does that say? I can see it down the road when he's in a pub looking to meet the girl of his dreams: "Hi! I'm Zamboni." "Oh, you drive a Zamboni?" "No, my name is Zamboni." "Goodbye." Palin also says she's not planning on having any more kids. Plus, if she's elected, I doubt she'll have time for another kid; perhaps this is a good reason to vote for her? What do you all think?

I had to go see who wrote this "newsworthy" post and couldn't believe it was you Roger. You don't want to know what I think.

Lisa 10-24-2008 @ 12:40PM

I think Palin was probably just joking, Roger. I do remember that you, on the other hand, had a pretty weird names picked out for your children in utero, until your wife slapped you around.

Uly 10-24-2008 @ 1:20PM

Difference is that Palin *actually inflicted* bizarre names on her kids already.

Sandyone 10-24-2008 @ 1:29PM

Yes, Roger, we're still reading your blog entries. I think it's kind of a weird sickness...to see what you'll come up with next.

This entry from the guy who entertains naming his kids after trees. They pay you well, don't they?

Karen 10-24-2008 @ 2:21PM

Actually, I kind of like the name Zamboni. The only problem is that kids will inevitably call him Zamboner. (For the record, my current and future kids will all have normal, family names. No Bristols for me!)

Roger, just so you know, I don't think you're a tool or that your hatred for Sarah Palin is irrational. What's with the hate from the commenters?

Mihir 10-24-2008 @ 2:25PM

by the way...your meeting girls @ the pub argument doesn't fly either. the kid would have his own theme song which states:

"I wanna ride, the Zamboni"

just sayin.

She considers herself an intellectual!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I am... gah!!!!!!!

jade 10-26-2008 @ 10:14PM

I think Bristol is neat... I'll wager, she doesn't have many with her name to get confused with or whatever... Otherwise, Sarah being an Intellectual... Now that is news... OMG... She is deranged...

I love Sarah! 10-24-2008 @ 8:59PM

I see the Sarah haters never learned humor as children.

notfooled 10-24-2008 @ 11:15PM

And just how "nasty" is Kathy's comment above? You seem tocheer the not-so-subtle racist comments but are so appalled at Rocco's comment? Hypocrites to the end.

Linda 10-24-2008 @ 9:04PM

I vote her next kid's name should be veepee, after it's mom's lost dream.

Mr. X 10-24-2008 @ 9:08PM

Gimme a break !
Hollywood nut cases like you... name their kids moronic names like:

Apple - Gwenth Paltrow's kid
Rumer - Bruce Willis' kid
Kal El - Nick Cage's kid
... and many more.

Oh - don't forget the golden oldies - Dweezil, Ahmet, and Moon Unit Zappa.

GET OFF SARAH PALIN'S BACK - YOU HYPOCRITES!

GOODGRIEF 10-24-2008 @ 9:13PM

I've always wanted to know what kind of perverse sense of humor(?) a parent must have when I see some of the names being given. It's no wonder some kids absolutely detest their parents. I thought only the Hollywood nut jobs were into this stupidity, but good old Sarah, who wants us to believe she's one of us, did a number on her kids.

KOJ 10-24-2008 @ 9:11PM

If Roger had twins, they would have to be named after their father - Dumb 7 Dumber!

d. 10-24-2008 @ 9:11PM

Who the F@%*K cares.

Diana 10-24-2008 @ 9:19PM

She really shouldn't have any more kids at her age...She may end up with a whole host of medical issues for the baby and she already has a down syndrome child...Why take any more chances.

Mr. X 10-24-2008 @ 9:23PM

HEY GOODGRIEF -
The moron who started this thread - this Roger idiot ... maybe didn't make it clear to you "intellectual Palin haters / Obama lemmings"

... Palin hasn't named her kids anything stupid... nor done a "number" on her kids... and if you bring up her daughter's unplanned pregancy -
you're a bigger jackass than I assume

... because LOTS of GOOD families have kids who make mistakes w/ sex.

... but I digress - chances are VERY good Palin was making a joke.

You haters have NO SENSE of HUMOR... just vitriol, blind hate towards someone you know only thru news sound bites

... yet you'll give "The Anointed One" a pass on everything.

Since we're talking names here... BRILLIANT idea for Obama's dad to name his kid after a vicious dictator "Hussein"

... but THAT - you'll find a reason to say... WOW, I should name MY kid that.

I look forward to 6-12 months from now... when you Obama lemmings realize you've been led off the cliff - by your so-called messiah.

notfooled 10-24-2008 @ 11:18PM

a - you sound like a parent who has been disappointed by your child with an unplanned pregnancy and b - someone who admits that Obama has already won the election!!

mr. X 10-24-2008 @ 11:27PM

Dear Notfooled -

No... I am a highly educated, news journalist... with no kids - but intelligent enough to see... again, you try to see bitterness - where there is no bitterness.

I just see things clearly and without bias.... something many of your ilk do not.

As to admitting Obama has won... here's food for thought for you.

Exit polls showed Kerry winning the DAY OF the election... and he bombed out. I was sad that day.

Obama isn't SURE of his own victory... or else he wouldn't be buying a half hour of prime time TV time to speak ALONE to the public.

He's playing it safe... HE's NOT entirely sure.

... and look at this thread... the supporters of Palin outnumber haters like you 3 to 1 ... or more.

I'm not saying there's a silent majority that will turn this election around in McCain's favor... but Obama and you would be a fool to think he has it locked up either.

... and of he does win - Sarah Palin isn't going ANYWHERE to hide.

She's the new rock star of the GOP... she'll likely run for US Senate... and/or make a run in 2012 against Romney.

So save a little Palin hate for the years to come... you'll need it.

God bless.
