Levi Johnston's second child to be named after a gun

Levi Johnston's second child will be a girl named Breeze Beretta, his pregnant girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, told Inside Edition in an interview to air Wednesday. Beretta is the name of an Italian firearms manufacturer, and Oglesby confirmed that the child will be named after a gun.

She also talked about the accidental nature of the pregnancy.

"We were out at the cabin for like, four days, and forgot the birth control," she said.

Johnston told Inside Edition that he plans on doing things differently with Oglesby than he did with Bristol Palin, the mother of their son, Tripp.

"I'm actually in love...not doing it just because we had a kid together," he said.

The Clampetts had class. They were a bit bucolic in their way, but they were fine respectable people.

The Palins and everyone around them are like Clevon from Idiocracy. He was the guy at the beginning of the movie whose family tree covered the screen.

Oglesby confirmed that the child will be named after a gun.

Please. This is just ridiculous.

That poor kid is going to grow up being teased all her life being named after a gun, and they'll think she's also a nut if she insists that she was named not after a gun but a gun MANUFACTURER and it was only them and her idiot mother that THOUGHT she was being named after a gun. As if there's some huge difference between being named after a gun or a gun manufacturer.

the kid is named after the powder, not the drink. The lady says, "No, I named her after the drink...I like it," he'd come back and explain how the powder is the chemical basis of Kool-aid, so she's therefore incorrect in her own reasoning! It is, indeed, an amusing spectacle.

While driving along he noticed the temperature gauge had pegged, so he pulled into a shopping center and walked over to the Sears auto center. When he explained to the clerk that his car had overheated, the clerk asked him "Would that be the car in the parking lot that's on fire?"

He hasn't been much of a Chevy fan since then...
