Alaska's First Baby Will Be a Boy
Filed under: Bump Watch, Celeb Kids
Remember Sarah Palin? Yeah we had almost forgotten about her too, but she's back in the news. This time, though, she's not angling to be the Vice President but waiting to be a grandma. Daughter Bristol Palin and presumptive son-in-law Levi Johnston are all ready to welcome their baby, who is due on December 20.
And apparently, it's a boy!
Palin's father, Chuck Heath, let is slip that Alaska's most famous unmarrieds are having a son. When asked about a name, he joked, "Oscar . . . No, I'm just kidding. They don't have a name for it yet."
Hmm. I wonder if anyone has suggested Zamboni?

Top Baby Names 2008
The results are in and the top baby names for 2008 have been determined according to Babycenter.com. And despite the celebrity weirdness of late (Zuma Nesta Rock? Bronx Mowgli?) average parents are sticking with average names for their offspring.
For boys, Aiden retained his spot as the number one name (a position held since 2005), followed by Jayden, Ethan and Jacob. For the girls, Emma made a return to the number one position, knocking off last year's Sophia and beating out Isabella and Olivia. Seeing as how this was an election year, it isn't surprising to find that presidential names were popular with lots of boys being named Jackson and Tyler and girls getting Madison, Taylor and Kennedy.
Babycenter's editor-in-chief, Linda Murray says the results show a trend toward classic and old-fashioned names. "Times have changed and people are taking the world more seriously, affected by what is going on the world," she said.
Yes, it seems that most parents don't want their children being teased and chose names that would reflect something positive about them. For boys, parents said they wanted names that represented strength, kindness and compassion, compared to the strength and individuality they were going for in 2007. For girls, parents were looking for something that expressed kindness, compassion, intelligence and strength. Last year, they were looking for femininity and individuality.
I can't help but notice that for both boys' and girls' names, parents seem to have lost the desire for names that express individuality. Why do you suppose that is?

HaveSomeClass said...Larry,
Like I have said previously, the next time you decide to be judge and jury over someone else, say this prayer:
"Lord, please keep your arm around my shoulder, and your hand over my mouth. Amen"
Christmas is next week. May God move you to attend Church and be reminded of what is important in life. Trashing other people and spewing hatred is not a ticket into heaven. Heaven help you.

martina said...Larry, I wasn't claiming being with a deadbeat was responsible, clearly stating that at 17 YOUNG yes but that doesn't mean the baby or the mother is destin for bad in life and failing at everything. I am VERY proud 17 or not and reguardless of the fact that her donor was a loser she is a blessing to me and I wouldn't go back and "fix" it if I had a second chance. Teenagers are having sex more and more each day, at younger ages it is a sad reality these days because most of them aren't ready for what comes after sex. Lets all just hope the Palins do a great job. Even if her parents help, I know some 30 year old moms that get a little help now and then. quit judging people my goodness.

What level of education do you have?
Let's hope no one ever trashes you like this.
Take a good long hard look in the mirror....who's the better person....you or Bristol Palin and her mother? Based on what you wrote, I'd say the answer wouldn't be you.

Mary said...You people spewing such hatred for Palin and her family are just plain sick. Some of you have such disgusting, filthy language that you shouldn't be allowed to submit comments. No wonder our country is in such a mess. We are filled with disgusting, hateful people that have nothing better to do with their lives than attack others. Are your lives and personalities so lacking in goodness that you know no other way of expressing yourselves? Get a life and leave these people alone.

Someday when you stand before God you will get a chance to explain how you reasoned so much hate for the gift he has endowed on this earth, A Innocent Baby. Aren't you all proud of yourselves and ever so intelligent.

never touches those you love. But there is a saying about what goes around comes around! Yourself and your nasty posters on this will certainly deserve anything that smites your mean bodied souls!

HaveSomeClass said...Michelle,
It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or Democrat. All people deserve to be treated with respect. Just because someone would like to see people treated with respect doesn't mean they are "fools". It also doesn't necessarily mean that they are a Republican. There are millions of Democrats who feel that all people deserve respect.
Why don't you take a long hard look at your own life and your own actions and try to figure out why you think it is necessary to say the things that you say? What is missing in your life? Church? God? Did something bad happen to you in your life?
It is time for people to start treating each other how they would want to be treated !!

Here's a prayer you need to say to yourself the next time you decide to be judge and jury:

sickofrepublicanbullshit said...havesomeclass has a comment on everyone else in here I guess her name in real life is ''Mother Theresa'' for all the god, love and kindness she is dishing out. Sarah gave it as hard as she could... so she can take it also. She said the kids were always planning on getting married, well they still aren't. We're just asking Sarah stop giving interviews for 5 mins and tell the truth for once. Too much to ask for Sarah Saks though. How about YOU go to a Sunday Service and pay close attention when they say ''Judge not lest ye be judged'' You, my bible preaching friend, are a hypocrite. Q. What do you call the idiot who only preaches abstinence to her teenage daughter? A. GRANDMA!!!!!!!!

HaveSomeClass said...Hi sickofrepublicanbullshit,
I am actually a Democrat. I am not Mother Teresa, but rather, felt moved to remind people of what is important in life. Hopefully you will read this and realize, that it is not I who am judging anyone. I am simply reminding people that they should treat others the way they want to be treated.
It is Christmastime, and I thought that after reading all of the hatred on this message board, that people should maybe seek God.
Why does this make me a hypocrite?
