I wonder if the Occupy movement would defend these parents against the state/govt control over their children......and I use the word "parent" only as a descriptor in this case.
Sorry....absolute dumb a$$es.

Why on Earth there are idiots who give their kids foolish names.

I don't see what the problem is. Adolf is a very nice name and it's highly unlikely that anyone would confuse him with the famous (deceased!) politician.

At least they didn't use "Chewbacca". I have dibs on that.

I've known a few Jesuses and an Adolph, and many Mohammed variations, but never known anyone with the given names Adolph Hitler. If someone had the surname Fir, Lucy would be sort of nice as a given name.
I have a nephew named Attila, which I think pretty terrible, and a cousin who is a hardcore Neo-Nazi white supremicist, and heavy metal band guitarist, thug, and all around bad guy witha normal name.... I am surprised that the state would have allowed the name. I couldn't have officially named my child F**k, though if I had a flatulent son, I would have liked to name him Jack the Ripper.

Made me laugh out loud (rare) Interesting thing about the linked article re the kid named Adolf Hitler, is that despite their home being allegedly swathed in 3rd Reich iconography, doting Mater and Pater both deny being neo Nazis. From a mainstream perspective, is this analogous to loathing Neo Prog but covertly loving Progressive Rock? BTW I'm just waiting for some post modern apologist to wade in with their 'names are but arbitrary social constructions that merely reference plural realities' spiel Edited by ExittheLemming - October 28 2011 at 15:29 |

I wouldn't call it child abuse because this term has imo nothing to do with naming. On the other hand, the "batsh*t crazy" seems a fitting description here.

Nice analogy. When reading the article, i wondered if they denied being Neo-Nazis because they are of the old-school Nazi tradition. |

I know. That doesn't change the premise that you are naming your son after a famous dead person that might prejudice others.

Didn't post modernism put the most emphasis on words and names? The issue is as acute as possible when looked through post modern thought. I see no reason to have a go at post modernism out of the blue like that. |
