A couple of weeks ago I wrote that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) is highly popular with her constituents in the Land of the Midnight Sun.
One of the ways you can tell that, in this day and age, is when their private life becomes the stuff of public comment—in a friendly way.
My mom suggested we should have a say in what Gov. Sarah Palin names her newborn. Mom said “Iron Dog” or “Snow-go.“ I say the Koyukon Athabascan words “Sedaadzaa’” for a girl and “Keel” for a boy.
Sedaadzaa’ means “little sister” and Keela means “boy.“ My son, William, says “Denali” or “Talkeetna” or “Kenai.“
Babies are precious. Congratulations! We’re happy for the Gov. and First Dude.»
Letter to the Editor: Baby names
Yes, it’s creepy—but it’s creepy in a friendly way.
(And am I the only one who gets the sense some of these people are naming a sled dog rather than a human baby?)
