Not intending to start a whole new discussion, and without mentioning any specific names, I must ask: when did being an idiot keep someone from becoming president?

When they lack unrivaled popularity. Sarah Palin won't have the favoritism of the masses in the same way that Zero did.

Well, there's the type who is idiotic in what he does, the type idiotic in what he says (or his inability to speak in English), and the type who encompasses all realms of idiocy.

In his 1857 inaugural speech, James Buchanan said that slavery was "of little practical importance." After all, he noted, the Supreme Court was about to settle the matter -- which it did two days later, with the Dred Scott decision. Now that's idiocy of the first rank.

Of course, Sarah Palin doesn't know what the Dred Scott decision was, and she probably can't tell Pat Buchanan and James Buchanan apart.

I would gladly impregnate Sarah Palin and her daughter in a raunchy threesome. The only condition would be that I would name the resulting children.

Who the hell names their kids "Trip" and "Trig"? You have just ruined that kids life by naming him/her a weird ass name that sounds retarded. Not to go off in a different direction, but I hate people who name their kids something like "Aiden" or "Brayden" or some weird ass spelling of a name with a "y" in it.

Trik, Trib, Trif, Tric, Tris, Tril, Trim, Trio, Triq, Trit, Triv, Triz, and Trix are still available for the resulting masses.

Hey there...Am I missing something? Whats with the Irish/Gaelic name bashing? I apologize if I'm over-sensitive to this, but these are beautiful, ancient names, & I am very proud.

Here's some info:

Aiden
The boy's name Aiden \a(i)-den\, also used as girl's name Aiden, is a variant of Aidan (Gaelic), and the meaning of Aiden is "fire".

GENDER: Male, but occassionally used for female.

ETYMOLOGY: Little fire; fire; the little fiery one. Anglicized form of Gaelic Aedan/Aodhan/Aodhagan, a pet form of "Aed." The Gaelic female form is Aednat/Aodhnait. The name itself comes from the word "aodh," which means fire. Aiden can mean "fire," "little fire," or "ardent." It is commonly interpreted as "little fiery one."

PRONUNCIATION: a(i)-den/AY-den

ORIGIN & HISTORY: Aiden is a modern version of Aidan, which comes from the early medieval Gaelic word Aedan. Aedan was a pet name of the Gaelic word Aodh meaning fire. Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne was a 7th Century Irish Monk who established a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in England. He was known to give away gifts from the King to the poor, including a horse, presents and food. The main miracle attributed to Saint Aidan was that his prayer changed the winds, redirecting a fire to defeat the enemies. The name was common in Ireland until the 10th century, and has been revived in the 19th and 20th century in Western cultures with ties to Catholicism or Ireland.

The name Aiden first appeared in history in medieval Ireland, and is commonly attributed to the Irish monk Saint Aiden of Llawhaden.

Brayden
The boy's name Brayden \b-ray-den\ is a variant of Braden (Irish, Gaelic), and the meaning of Brayden is "descendant of Brad?n".

GENDER: Male, Female.

ETYMOLOGY:
BRAYDEN (masculine) "Wide Hillside"
BRAYDEN (feminine) "Freckled"

PRONUNCIATION: Bray-den

ORIGIN & HISTORY: Brayden in the masculine form is of Old English origin.
In the feminine form its origin is Welsh.

Other given meanings of Brayden are derived from the alternative spellings, such as the Gaelic, Braden, meaning "Salmon" and from the Irish surname "O'Bradain" meaning "brave".


So, I hope maybe we can all appreciate these beautiful names a little more now...Thanks for reading...

Since this name discussion started with respect to the names Sarah Palin gave her kids, I just want to point out that those weird names are most likely the product of Sister Sarah's functional illiteracy ... nothing more, nothing less.

My gripe isn't with the names per se, it is with the parents who name them that because they think it is a "cute" name to name their baby. C'mon! You are naming a future adult, not a baby. The name should fit the person that is going to have it. Aiden is a manly Irish name only if your son grows up to be a huge muscular giant with a Lemmy or Fu Manchu or other type of facial hair.

Odds are that any child named like that nowadays has zero Irish ancestry and I guarantee you that any woman who names her baby Aiden or Jayden or Brayden did so because she 1) thought it was cute or 2) did it because that's what all the other moms are doing.

Naming your progeny should have alot of thought and consideration; it should not be done because a certain name is popular. Think of all the other moms out their who have named their kids Aiden or Jayden and now think of how many other kids are going to be named the same thing. Can you imagine a class full of Aidens, Braydens or Jaydens? The attempt at individuality has failed and is being parroted by millions of others. I can also guarantee you that he will end up being another one of those shaggy, ass-hugger jeans wearing emo kids that listen to My Chemical Romance or Green Day who has zero self-respect for himself and constantly cries for the approval for others.

Naming your demon spawn should not be a fad, it should show thought.
