Father Named Baby Daughter Sarah McCain Palin Behind Mom’s Back

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Politics on October 15, 2008 at 5:01 pm


How far would you go to support your presidential candidate? Most people donate money or buy bumper stickers and such. There are some who are enthusiastic enough who volunteer in the campaign … then there is Mark Ciptak.

Here’s what he did:

“I decided to actually name her Sarah McCain Palin,” he said. “I’m totally McCain all the way.”

A blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, Ciptak said he chose the name to show his support and to encourage others to vote.

But Sarah McCain Palin is not the name Ciptak and his wife, Layla, originally agreed upon. “I sort of secretively went behind her back and changed the paperwork,” Ciptak said. Ava Grace was the name originally chosen by the couple.

Fueled by his new idea, Ciptak caused a distraction and some confusion at the hospital by using two separate birth certificate forms. “With the stress of everything going on, she, I guess, didn’t realize that a new form was printed with my handwriting because my handwriting is very noticeable, very unique,” he said of his wife.

    Sarah is a nice name, and she can always change it.

    For real stupidity, look to the people who got a free Obama tattoo.

    Heh. Nice. I’m Sarah McCain Palin. And I support this message.

    ————————

    Don’t turn this into another political thing guys. It’s not. It’s just this guy who wanted to honor his heroes by naming his daughter after them.

    what a pointless, duplicitous wanker.

    If he went behind his wife’s back on naming their child (no matter whether he named her McCain, Obama, NASCAR, or Rambo), that’s totally messed up, and disrespectful of his wife. He’s Mr. McDouchey-Pants in my book!

    Oh yes, his marriage is in trouble. That was a darn silly thing to do, whatever his politics.

    Heh… kind of reminds me of the sort of tactics that got that pesky G.W. Bush into the White House twice! Sneak around, change the paperwork behind honest voters’ backs. Yep, the guy’s definitely a bone-headed Republican supporter, willing to completely undermine his country for his country.

    Sheesh. In researching our family history, we found that one of our ancestors married a woman who went insane and killed their newborn baby by throwing the child out of a window. Another ancestor was a Republican politician. We grimly joke that we can’t decide which of the two is the bigger blot on the family escutcheon.

    GOD help her. I just want to see Mr. Ciptak’s co-workers faces when his wife tells them, “He wanted you to have this” and hands them a milk jug full of blood.

    Wow! This intrigues the blogger in me. I wish I would have found this story… I would have given this guy such a hard time for what he did to his poor daughter. Granted they can change the name, but what if he chooses not to and she has to grow up with a name that fuses together the names of two political candidates? Lemme tell ya, she’s gonna be one snippy rebellious teenager who wants nothing to do with her father. Sorry dad! You ruined any hopes of having a normal relationship with your daughter.

    Seems about par for the course; duplicitous, dumb and without concern for others. If it weren’t for having seen even dumber McCain/Palin voters, I’d say this was an Obama plant.

    9 months carrying a baby (and probably all kinds of not nice stuff) hours and hours in labor, and then your husband does that to you? Sorry, but even politics aside, that guy’s actions are selfish and insensitive.

    Forget what he did to his daughter. As names go, it could be soooo much worse. But you know this isn’t the first time he has pulled this type of controlling, deceitful crap on his wife. And she still decided to have a kid with him. I hope that bed she made for herself is comfy.

    At least it was a real baby.

    Not like the hundreds of thousands of non-existent voters enrolled by Obama’s ACORN pals.

    What a douchebag. I wonder what else he’s doing behind his wife’s back. ;-)

    “With the stress of everything going on, she, I guess, didn’t realize that a new form was printed with my handwriting …”

    You mean the stress of childbirth? Of bringing your daughter into the world, you idiot? Way to ruin a family moment, sneaking around like that and tricking your wife into renaming your daughter something besides the name that you had both agreed upon and she was probably calling the baby as she was carrying it around in her body for months.

    What a jerk.

    Notice his wife isn’t giving press statements - because she left him as soon as she found out!

  34. Skipweasel

    He seems to have trouble remembering his kids’ names anyway - as far as I can tell he writes their birth dates on the wall just in case.

    That’s grounds for divorce right there. I don’t care about what the name is.. But he went behind his wife’s back and “changed” their daughters name.. That is just low.

    This may not hold up legally since he did it without his wife’s knowledge and he used two different birth certificates and “caused some confusion.” Depends upon the state and judge. I agree with everyone else he’d be out on the curb for that stunt. What an arrogant buttmunch.

    Suddenly all I can hear in my head are lyrics from Flagpole Sitta: “Been around the world and found
    That only stupid people are breeding”. The point here isn’t what the guy named his kid, it’s that A. He went behind his wife’s back and changed the child’s name without her consent after she was so kind as to screw him, carry his kid for nine months and then give birth to it. and B. He changed his kids name to something he KNOWS will be awkward and embarrassing for the kid in the long run. Kids aren’t property. You want to name your car Betty Sue? Fine. Want to call your dog Duke Wilford Barkingham the 3rd? More power to you. But you don’t get to use your kid as a billboard for your political beliefs or personal interests. This is a human life we’re talking about. I really hope his wifes sees what an utter moron he is and refuses to produce any more children with him. Do we need these genes in our pool? Everyone should go and and rent Idiocracy and take a gander at our future. When you’re done, go to a Mensa meeting and get busy reproducing before the idiots take over.

    Tricking his wife like that is divorce-worthy, but the name could have been worse. My great-grandfather was Grover Cleveland Rineer. Of course, Cleveland was actually president.

    I don’t care if I was a McCain/Palin supporter myself; if my husband did that I would file for divorce. For him to have to “trick” me into naming the baby an UGLY NAME is an act of betrayal. He couldn’t ASK his wife? WTF?! If she stays married to him after that, she is a loser doormat and doesn’t deserve any sympathy. My husband wants to name our son Blaine, and I’d sooner name him Kumquat than that.

    “I was actually gonna name the baby John McCain [...] I decided to actually name her Sarah McCain Palin, figuring hopefully I would get two weeks in the doghouse rather than two months.”

    He KNOWS he’s a douchebag, and still does it!

  43. WTF?!!

    Yeah, this is totaly not political cheesedick… he should have named her free and easy after his other favorite douches.

    This guy is ridiculous for going behind his wife’s back, but the whole “politics in childbirth” thing is certainly not new, I can’t tell you how many Jimmy Carters and Ronald Reagans I’ve met. Also an Augustus Caesar, but I’d kill for a name like that ;)

    After the divorce, when the wife publishes her book, PLEASE put me on the mailing list !

    Oh, and if she needs money for the divorce attorney, just have her contact me for a large donation… that “man” could be used to fertilize anyones lawn.
