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.

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. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

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  -------------

Parents are crazy. But it's their right. Then the child when he gets older can change his name to whatever he wants.

Fair enough. But yes, I do think it's abusive to give your child that kind of name. But then I think it's abusive for those Aussie parents who wanted to name their child Superman. That's just asking for your child to be beaten up on a daily basis.

Suppose you named your child "Cyrus Worthington Black." Then, three weeks after the child was born, a man named "Cyrus Worthington" makes huge news by bombing fourteen Chicago buildings in the same day, killing an estimated 1,700 people.

It applies: What I'm interested to know is vested in that qualifier you just used. Is it the name itself that makes it child abuse, or is it the motivation of the parents? If a couple who'd honestly never heard of Adolf Hitler named their child that, would that be child abuse?

Should have said "virtually zero", indeed. Gypsy people do that - they give the name and the surname of a famous figure for their child's name, often with hilarious results. My parents encountered many such children when they were working at the local school for children with disabilities. Hitler wasn't one of them, though, even they know he's not OK, I gather. Iuri Gagarin was a favourite, or classical musicians.

I don't know about this case, but there are some people out there who simply should never be allowed to be parents again.

Intention is almost always relevant to a criminal act. Child abuse is no different. For example, if I pick up my child and throw him to the ground - that's abuse. If I pick up my child and while holding him/her lose my footing or balance and drop the child - the injuries may be the same, but there was no intent to harm the child and therefore, no abuse. In the extremely unlikely event that someone had never heard of Hitler, but named their child Adolph Hitler, no it would not be abuse. Simply ignorance. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

I had to read several volumes of Harry Potter before I could pronounce Hermione. In Norway there’s a very well known writer called Karl Ove Knausgård. He’s nearly finished a cycle of novels called "Min kamp". I can’t believe that the publishers accepted that title.

I can actually see that. The soft "G" is pronounced almost like a harder "zh", so dropping the harder part of that sound leaves you with "Zh" and "nea" could be pronounced "nay" and probably is in several words. That just leaves the silent "r" - nothing wrong with silent letters. And "zhuh-nay" sounds much prettier than say "Gar (with a hard G)-nee-ah". How about Orangejello pronounced "Uh-rahn-zhuh-lo" with stress on the second and fourth syllables instead of the usual 1st and 3rd. Don't worry, Rob, the name is yours to use for your next child. I stake no claim to it. Or then there's my name. Spelled "Chester" but pronounced "Mister Love". ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

No. It doesn't sound French at all. "Garnea" would be pronounced with a hard "G" (since it's in front of an "a") and the end "-nea" would be pronounced the same way than in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. It would never be pronounced "Zhunay". |

Unfortunate name choice. But that doesn't mean they would be terrible parents. This is thought-control after all. I wonder what will be more traumatic for the children: growing up with the stupid name or being taken of their homes and their parents to be raised up in the warmth of an institution or with foster parents aided by loving social workers. Stupid. -------------
