Introducing Sarah McCain Palin Ciptak

I am a McCain/Palin fan . . . but this is, by far, WAY TOO MUCH!! I'm not sure if Dave tried to pull something like this off, he'd wouldn't be around to see his little Sarah grown up!!

Mark Ciptak, of Elizabethton, Tennessee, submitted the name - which combines those of John McCain and Sarah Palin, the Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates - despite earlier agreeing with his wife, Layla, that their daughter should be called Ava Grace.

He said that after their return from the hospital, he confessed that he had written the name on the baby's birth certificate, but that Mrs. Ciptak thought he was joking.

"I don't think she believes me yet," he told the Kingsport Times-News newspaper. "It's going to take some more convincing."

Mr. Ciptak, who works at a bloodbank for the American Red Cross, said he chose the name in an attempt to "to get the word out" about the Republican campaign.

"I'm totally McCain all the way," he said. "I took one for the cause. I can't give a lot of financial support for the campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little."

However, Mr. Ciptak admitted that he had almost gone even further.

"I was actually going to name the baby John McCain, even as a girl, but I thought that was maybe too overboard," he said.

"I decided to actually name her Sarah McCain Palin, figuring hopefully I would get two weeks in the doghouse rather than two months."
