| 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. Ciptak said he had no regrets at the time. “The very next day, though, I did feel bad, my conscience set in,” he said. Although the stroke of conscience failed to override his decision, he did admit to one concession. “I was actually gonna name the baby John McCain, even as the 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.” |
