It may have been noted in an article on baby names, but that's it.

Johnston Quits Slope Job
Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, has quit his North Slope oil field job over questions about his eligibility to work in an electrical apprenticeship program, Johnston's father said Monday.
Johnston, 18, began working this fall in the Milne Point oil field with ASRC Energy Services Inc., a major Slope contractor.
In a Sunday newspaper column, Anchorage radio talk show host Dan Fagan questioned how Johnston could take part in ASRC's apprenticeship program without a high school diploma.
Fagan said he understood federal regulations require all members of apprenticeship programs to have a diploma. He also questioned whether the governor might have had a hand in getting Johnston into the program.

I knew there were going to be some questions about this...
Hopefully he will finish school !

Because everyone knows that average 18-year-old kids don't obey the law, right?

I think Trigg comes from Norwegian. Not sure of the spelling, but "tryg" means "safe." It does sound weird in English though. There are plenty of Norwegian names that I'd never name an American kid cause they're weird. "Odd" and "Even" are both Norwegian names!

If I ever marry a guy with the last name of Nelson, Gunnar is out. If my child took after me he'd have gorgeous hair, it would just be cruel.
I know a woman with the last name of Dixon, she always wanted a boy named Mason but that was off the list once she was married.

Expected, yes. Still, I couldn't help but hope that they'd make it.

Me, too. But better now than having an ugly divorce in a year or two (a la Britney Spears).

It won't surprise me if it's true, but this is a report from Star Magazine with Levi's sister Mercedes.
It seems like it ought to be taken with a grain of salt, maybe.
But again, it's something so likely that it seems odd to doubt it.
