Alaska relates that her mother was more or less a hippie and her father was a button-down Republican type. They had disagreed on what to name their daughter, so during the first seven years of her life, they called her "Mary." When Alaska turned seven, she was allowed to pick her own name and chose Alaska looking at her father's globe.
