No shit. Trip.

Mom named the kids after favorite sports and stuff. Bristol names hers after favorite drugs.

Wasillabillies.

21. We decided if we ever have twins to name them Cigar Butt and Ashtray.
And I kinda like the sound of Cat Litter, too. Don't you? Can I get a "youbetcha"?

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Sunday to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska.

"We think it's wonderful," said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol's grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. "The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited."

The baby's name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to Jones.



Baby Tripp takes his surname from his dad, Levi Johnston, an apprentice electrician and former Wasilla High School hockey player who has been dating Bristol for three years.

24. Isn't Tripp a brand of scene kid clothing?
And aren't a lot of scene kids bisexual? (Well, fake bisexual, at least)?

It's official. Promotion of the homosexual agenda.

13. Nice name.
I see nothing wrong with it.

It's certainly not as annoying as all the people here who are bashing it.

31. I like Tripp too. It's old English for traveler... that's a nice image.


From Baby Name Finder:

TRIPP: Old English for "traveler" and common abbreviation for "the third." Like Trey, Tripp is used as a nickname for a child named for parent and a grandparent. A good choice if the child is destined for an exclusive prep school.

42. Yeah, I'm so sure Bristol Palin was aware of the Olde English meaning. LOL!
You give the Wasillabillies way too much credit for intelligence.

45. Believe me I don't!

:D

But even if they threw down some scrabble squares and it randomly spelled itself, it's still a name with a lovely meaning to it. Maybe it's portentous in the sense that he'll end up far, far away.

37. Perhaps with the rethuglicons insistant rants with Barack Hussein Obama @ a lot of Palin Rallies
the Duers are just letting off steam.

As for me I don't give a ratsass what people name their kids.

She named him a name close to his brother's: Tripp and Trig
If she has a girl next, will she name her Trim?

Sounds like something that Sarah would name a child. Track (or however you spell it), Trig, and Tripp

43. No, they have to start with TR...
That's the family TRadition. But it honestly wouldn't surprise me if the next kid was called Treak. It makes about as much sense as the rest of 'em.
