hmmmmm, let's see. Tripp Easton. The baby's daddy was a hockey player.
Trip. You get a 2 minute penalty for doing that. Easton, a brand of hockey equipment.
Pretty stupid of me to think someone would name their kid after hockey terminology.
But then again, I didn't name the kid..

some families just get hooked on letters...

my ex's name was Kim, her brother was Kevin
we named our daughters Katherine (Katie) and Kristine

Don't forget the television family, the Duggars. All 18 children have names that begin with the letter "J."

Then there's George Foreman...all his kids are named "George" (or a feminine variation)

Yep, my sister, cousin & me have names that start with "L"....so does my son.

Sarah Palin may be a public figure, but her daughter isn't. Who gives a s*** what she named her kid?

To each their own

Was it Gweneth Paltrow, the actress, who named her kid ..Apple?

personally I could care less...but naming them after hockey whatever, is that any worse than naming your children, or dogs, cats, etc. Delaney, or what Buffett named his own children, or characters is his books, or songs?

I'm not sure why it really matters what a public figure names their kids either.
It's a personal matter & not related to their public life.

I think it's 19 kids now. I heard somewhere that they added up her total hours of labor and it was over 2 weeks in actual labor.

So being on Team K is somewhat ironic...

Hey, what's wrong with naming ones kids after hockey things. You have to meet my kids Jock Strap, Composite Shaft and Delayof Game.

Thank you, Larry.
Look for your HOOTERS gift card to arrive soon as a token of my appreciation for your infinite wisdom.

BTW-
Keshawn Johnson's parents named THEIR kid KESHAWN.

LaToya Jackson's parents named THEIR kid LATOYA.

Barack Obama's parents named THEIR kid BARACK.

Should I go on?

Our kids are both Js, but they're Jason & Jonathan,
not Jett and Javelin. I just get annoyed when folks
saddle their children with very fake names. That's all.

One of the bright girls I worked with at Flowers? Her daughters middle name is Dijon....

She had NO clue it was mustard....Just heard it and liked it...

what is with this family and names???

Palin's daughter gives birth to son named Tripp

Or maybe it's an Alaska thing???

It's no weirder than naming your kid Savannah or Delaney or Cameron.

I don't think anybody ever thinks about the fact that their kids are going to have to spend the rest of their lives with the names they give them.

Your child is not a fashion accessory. It is not an opportunity for you to show the world how hip you are. Just give your kid a normal damn name.

well, at least she didn't name her son HUNTER....that really would've stirred up the sh*t!!!

The gist of my post above was to echo what Larry said.
WHO THE HELL CARES WHO NAMES THEIR KIDS WHAT!!!
Jeez, Louise, is it ANOTHER slow news day around here?

Hey, we can only argue about Israel's right to attack Hamas in Gaza for so long
before we get bored... Now Rod Blagojevich is another matter entirely.

Hey, there's a supercool name for ya... Trig Blagojevich

There's a lot to discuss.
