When Bristol's kid figures out the construction of his name, he's going to go postal: His name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnson.

"Tripp" is after John Tripp, a former player for the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings, currently playing in Germany.
"Easton" is the biggest manufacturer of hockey equipment.
"Mitchell" is after John Mitchell, the center for the Colorado Avalanche.

This is the worst naming debacle since Bill Lear (the guy who invented the 8-track tape system and the business jet) named his second daughter Shanda.

Exactly, "what kind of plane" you flew. This is also a key to the militia gunnuts: They're civilians UTUSN Sep 2014 #17
