3 year old can't have his name on his birthday cake....wait'll you see what his name
 

I like how the dad says he will raise his kids better....but they have those names that bring up thoughts of hate and other horrible things.

Oh and....Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure the parents aren't racists at all

and of course Wal-Mart will stand on their head and lick a customers feet just to assure a sale and not offend them no matter what their demands are.

But what ever I wonder when they will name their next kid Rasputain.

I don't even see why this made the news. Then again, a lot of rubbish does.

I imagine this kid's going to get his ass kicked a lot in school.

do parents even think any more when it comes to naming their kid? My friend has a litte girl and I went to her third birthday party and one of the kids there was named Shi-thead. When I heard the name I didn't think much of it until I saw it written out, and I was like Holy Father these people named their kid sh*thead! Take the dash mark away and you have Sh*thead! And these wheren't people of with some kind of ethnic back ground, they where caucasian.

I think what's worse is his daughter's middle name is Arryan Nation.

Oh yeah, you aren't trying to stir **** with those names at all.

"Aryan Nation" and "Honszlynn Hinler", my ass. That made me LOL quite hard.

Sounds like a father who wanted to have a son a bit too much and was seriously displeased with getting a daughter instead.

In this case I can see why this parent is just a prick, but the name Hitler shouldn't be forever ruined because it happens to be the name of one of history's biggest assholes. Eventually people need to get over it. 100 years from now are we will going to have this problem? A name is a name, most of them don't even have meaning behind anything. Look at the parents naming their kids Batman.

Last I checked Batman wasn't responsible for some of the darkest pages of human history. Sure it's just a name, but the stigma associated with 'Hitler' isn't going to disappear any time soon.

This is basically an equivalent of 'I have lots of black friends'. Way to mess up your kids' lives.

Dude, you know what's messed up? That Shop Rite is associated with the one I work at! It was opened by the same person that owns the one I work at. It's literally a half hour away from me. I heard about this today when I was working. Soooo messed up. I know more details about this story too since I know people that work there. It was such a messed up situation. One of the cake decorators is Jewish! They wanted swastikas and Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler on the cake. Upon hearing the request they said they would write Happy Birthday Adolf but not Hitler and would give them the materials to make the swastikas at home but they wouldn't do it.

So wait... they were actually willing to compromise with them and they still made a stink about it? EPIC FAIL.

Yeah, basically they said it was ridiculous that they wouldn't do it

People do that? I mean for god sakes, if you're that into batman name your kid Bruce Wayne so not everyone thinks you're a total nerd.

Or Wayne Grayson? :p

omg just pictured it. "im a jew you bastard! im gonna kick your ass for my great-grandparents!" *a couple punches and kicks*

This is a very bizarre thing, alright.

To go on with the naming thing, how about the parents who wanted to name their kid "4Real".

Laws
 

Don't you have any laws in the USA, forbidding parents to name children like that? Some name can make you an easy target for bullying at school... But in Sweden, where we have such laws, we had a parliament member named http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerstin-Maria_Stal%C3%ADn. OK, born in 1937, 16 years before Josef Stalin died, but Joseph Stalin was not much better than Adolf Hitler I suppose?

Racist nothing... somehow, I think the parents are just, as you said, being total pricks, naming their kids something ironic for an idiotic joke.

This would be funny for some sort of indie movie, just not in real life.

That said, at least they're not the kind of parents that name their kids random nouns that don't go together... like Sunshine Space Tweezers (damn you Dahrma and Greg, having one memorable line).

Nope. No laws about what you can and can't name your own kid. That's not very...uh...freedom of...speech or something like that.

Can you imagine someone looking over your shoulder as you name your kid? I'd bet Adolf is actually a pretty common (first or middle) name for male skinhead/aryan nation/neo nazi children. I know of one guy around here who likes to hold lectures about how the Holocast was only media propoganda and I believe one of his sons is named Adolf



I'm still flabergasted that he says he's going to raise his kids better but gave them these names. and also....what friggen person in his/her right mind attends a birthday party for that "cute little Adolf Hitler in Tommy's daycare....he seems to have such a nice family" gimme a break. :roll:

you can probably name yer kid Jesus Christ for all I know.

yeah. my neighborhood is full of Jesuses......uh that's pronounced
"Hay-soose" :D

Well said. I was scrolling down, waiting to see someone post something logical
like this.
It's just a name, people. Get over it.

It's also just as lame that no one will sport that mustache anymore. It was cool when Charlie Chaplin had it. Then OMG, no one can have that style anymore because of Hitler. Pure bullsh*t.
Why do people have to stigmatize everything associated with one infamous person? For the longest time people were going around saying that Germany was "evil" because of that ONE man.
Madness.

If I wanted to be an ass to my kids, I'll legally change my last name to Johnson, and name my child Tufut.

Hope that's not too graphic.

It's because of the context. The parents are obviously not afraid to flaunt their Neo-Nazi beliefs, what with giving one kid the middle name of "Aryan Nation" and wanting swastikas on the cake (don't anyone start with the whole manji business... it's pretty clear what the symbols were supposed to represent). What's more, is twofold:

1) The decorator, according to DeathKnight, was willing to make a compromise.
2) Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone. If they had flat-out said "no, we're not handling your order", the customer couldn't have done anything about it.

But instead, they go get their order filled elsewhere, and then go whining about it to anyone that will listen.

Look, I believe that having the name Adolf and/or Hitler automatically meaning the name bearer is associated malicious entity is about as laughable as saying President-Elect Obama is evil because his middle name is Hussein and his surname rhymes with Osama. But it's pretty clear what the parents have done in this case.

The world isn't going to suddenly forget about WWII - it is very hard not to associate that period with the name 'Adolf Hitler'. Besides, it's just a name; it's not like not being able to use it anymore is a great loss. Generalizations are bad, but this particular stigma really doesn't matter that much.

But in this case the point is moot anyway since the parents obviously named their kid in reference to Hitler the person.

I think it has to do something with people who survived WW2 and are still alive. The memories of WW2 are still fresh.

If an American guy named his kids Osama-Bin-Laden Jones and Death-For-America Jones and organized a birthday party with a cake that has Koranic inscriptions on it and two burning WTC towers as candles (a perfect for a 2-year-old kid), I take even less people would agree that "it's just a name, get over it".

Haha, that comparison was beautiful, Rob.

Damn it someone already beat me to naming their child after Hitler! F*CK!

Wasn't there some news story about a couple somewhere wanting to name their son "Metallica" a few years ago?

I LOLed as soon as I really got into it.
