Well, Sarah has explained many times where she got the names. They are not names I would choose, but I haven’t lived her life, either.
1)Track was named because Sarah and Todd met when he was running track in HS, and she is a runner too.
2) Bristol was named for their fishing lease on Bristol Bay.
3) Willow was named — I forget.
4) Piper was named for their plane.
5) Trig is a Norwegian word meaning strong.
Is this any stranger than the millions of American mothers who have named their kids Madison, or Dakota? How about Buffy and Trey? I’ll bet Katie Couric has friends with kids named Buffy and Trey.
Personally, I prefer traditional names, but we each have our own say in choosing names for our children. Katie can go pound salt. What did she name her kids, anyhow?
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
As you know, I found this in your freeper profile. So it matters little that you mock or criticize her children's names. in fact, according to your profile's quote, you (as a critic) don't count at all.
All that counts are her great darinig in doing what needs to be done, and her amazing record of fantastic accomplishments, especially where many before her had failed miserably. Dipwad.

Quite right. Extremely mockworthy.
As usual, FR was ahead of the curve, well before most even knew of her...

"In summary, I think she'd be a smart pic for a VP slot. I just wouldn't want her choosing names for anything (her children are Bristol, Piper, Track, and Willow). :-)"
(Of course, that was before Trig was born...and note that the 'pic' was spelled that way intentionally, with the thread focusing on her looks.)
