Why would any parent subject their child to a lifetime of ridicule and discrimination by naming him after a brutal dictator who caused the death of millions????

disagree with the first part. any cake store dumb enough to whip up a hitler cake on the basis of a phone order deserves to go out of business.

and since my earlier quote was wiped out as if it never existed-

basically, i stated that if i were the poor kid in question, i would a million times prefer being adopted by a couple of homosexual parents who would love me and call me 'bob' than get stuck with a couple of mouth-breathers who thought that naming me after history's most despicable lunatic was the height of cuteness.

that is all.

Yep, & we all know what happened in the end. You & MagKm are fools & thankfully the majority of us are better than you.

From the article linked by the OP:

Quote:
The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.
This couple is trying to make point (which I am okay with as it's a First Amendment right) but they should not be shocked by the reactions they receive.

I'm going to name my child Joe. Just Joe. No need for a last or middle name.

My daughters name, however, is going to be Gina (pronounce Jie-nah) Titslinger. And my second son will be Adolph Hitler. No last name necessary on that one either.
