This is, as yet, not 100% verified. But I thought it was interesting as it made me think about how generally annoying it is to default to the father’s name in most situations, like it’s still the 1920s or something. As though the mothers don’t play an important enough role in their own kids’ lives to be able to share a last name. You can always hyphenate, sure. But I mean an easily available to everyone option to default to an unmarried mother’s name. Rather than making her spend years changing the kid’s name, after proving the father’s a douche, as I gather is pretty much the legal case at the moment. It is being reported by Radar Online and partially followed-up by The National Enquirer that Palin has decided to change her son’s last name. According to Radar, the 20-year-old wrote, as above, on her Facebook, ‘Tripp Easton Mitchell Palin… PALIN.’ Make of the following what you will, but The Enquirer adds that Johnston agreed to allow the change, on the condition of no more child support. No more what now?
