Bristol, Trig and more: What’s up with Palin’s kids’ names?

GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin’s kids’ names sure are unusual.
This New York Daily News story tells all about ‘em: Track, because Sarah Palin is a runner; Trig, Norse for “true” or “strength”; Bristol for Bristol Bay where the family fishes.
She hasn’t explained the Willow and Piper names, but there’s a town in Alaska called Willow and Piper brings to mind the Piper Super Cub, a bush plane popular in her state, the story says.
What do you think Palin's kids' names say about her?

Well she is a confessed pot smoker, sooooo that pretty much explains the tripped-out names. Luckily for her, her husband talked her out of naming them “Dude” and “Sweet”

“Willow” is the name of a witch on the series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Piper” is the name of one of the witches on the series “Charmed”. Hmmm….maybe inhaled a little too hard?

Piper is named after her husband’s 1958 Piper airplane.
What do you think about the name “Geometry” for a child? In honor of you, of course.

Lawrence,
I supose that’s better than naming the kid Buick.

Hey, Lawrence, I just realized you have the initials as my boss, LGC, Linda Grist Cunningham. Oh my. What’s that say about you?

I have no idea! I was just suggestin’ that since maybe Trig comes from Trigonometry, that Geo might come from Geometry. Which I agree would be strange but no stranger than “Trig.”
