This is similar to an incident where a court in NZ ordered the parents to change the name. An episode of M*A*S*H dealt with kids named with only Initials. B. J. Hunnicutt The letters stood for nothing. Mike Farrell spoke after the show that it isn't a laughing matter.

from the mash wiki
they say they're not racist, fine. but naming your kids adolf hitler, aryan nations, etc. asking for a swastika to be on a cake, wearing boots from a german ww2 soldier.... what is someone supposed to think?
btw, other names
btw, other names
Based on German criminal code (namely Volksverhetzung), I suspect this name might actually be deemed illegal.
Two things could probably happen from this... When the kid turns 18, he'll change his name. Or, more than likely, he too will become a white supremacist and the vicious cycle will continue.
You are probably right. Lets hope it is the first part rather than last part that actually happens.
It's all very well the Beckhams naming their first born Brooklyn, but obviously naming your child after where he or she was conceived doesn't work for everyone...Blue Velvet's link said:
Ehh I have faith enough in humanity that things like the KKK and stormfront will be things of our past fifty years from now.
I heard this on the local news this morning.
There is no way these two 'parents' [they sure haven't earned that distinction AFAIC] gave any consideration to what their children might have to go through growing up. Fracking racist losers. Go breed your hate somewhere else...like Mars.
Sometimes I can almost see the logic in an argument for state-enforced vasectomies.

Sounds like a new PRSI thread.
I have very often voiced my support of such measures.
I can only hope you're trying to be ironic.
There's no reason I can think of to tolerate parents naming their kid after one of the least tolerant human beings in history.
Just because Adolf Hitler has a name and does something horrible doesn't mean Adolf Hitler Campbell will. JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell could be construed as such but honestly, it's a name.
You should read what you people have said, you're suggesting violence, loss of rights and more over a NAME. Not over an action or a prosecutable offense, but a name.
Honestly. Think about it.
Even if the name isn't perhaps the most tolerable on earth, you could be mature and tolerate it yourselves.
Hypocrisy is falling everywhere.
On a less serious note, there's a kid that goes to my school with the name Joe King.
Also, more to think about:
"Hitler had a troubled childhood, as his father was violent to him and violent towards his mother. Hitler himself said that, as a boy, he was often beaten by his father. Years later, he told his secretary: "I then resolved never again to cry when my father whipped me. A few days later I had the opportunity of putting my will to the test. My mother, frightened, took refuge in front of the door. As for me, I counted silently the blows of the stick which lashed my rear end". Some historians believe a history of family violence committed by his father against his mother is indicated in a section of his book Mein Kampf in which Hitler describes in vivid detail an anonymous example of family violence committed by a husband against a wife. This along with beatings by his father against him could explain Hitler's deep emotional attachment to his mother while at the same time having deep resentment towards his father." - Wikipedia.org

You're right. It's just a name. But, just think of what that name does. It invokes a negative emotion. don't believe that the kid will turn to violence because of his name. At least I hope not. But there are a lot of intolerant ppl in this world that will choose to belittle, or choose to be violent to this kid because of his name and that may cause the kid to become violent. Just like Hitler himself. The name "Adolf Hitler" invokes a very negative emotion that you would have to have lived under a rock not to notice. And to blatently name your child this is wrong, just wrong. You are basically putting a sign around his neck that says I am a racist, bigoted person and you should hate me.
Yes, a name is just a name. But in this case, this is just arrogence to think ppl sould just go "oh, it's his name, no biggie". Sory, but the name "Hitler" will always have a negative stigma to it that will never be tolerated.
Hey, I have a friend who knew them. Didn't he have a brother named "*******" (A'-SHOLE) or something like that. Evil Parents. Back on topic... I don't know why anyone would name their child that. Just seems wrong to me. Though I must say:
That's a little unnecessary. Is your prejudice against tattoos in general or neck tattoos? I've wanted a tattoo my whole life, but waited until i was old enough to understand what i wanted and why i wanted it before i got one. Tattoos can't be beautiful and can mean a lot to the people who have them. I just hate the idea that people would judge someone for their tattoo. Sorry, if you didn't mean it that way, just seemed so harsh.

I highly doubt that. As long as ppl are different, there will always be supremacist groups in the world. Their numbers may shrink, but they will always be there.
And that's not something I think we should continue with.
And I hope Adolf can find a good way to put up with it and continue in life and raise awareness of this.
The Hitler part of the name is what's bugging people, right?
1. What happened to all the people in the world that had the last name of "Hitler" Did everyone with that name change it after WWII? Are there other Hitler's in the world right now? Related or unrelated to Adolph Hitler...i.e. John Hitler in Hammond, Indiana, Carrie Hitler in Portland, Oregon, Paul Hitler in Paris, Frace, etc.? There's no way Adolph Hitler would have been the only person with that family name.
2. There's no problem with the name, Adolph, right? I just checked...there's even a Saint Adolph...from the 13th Century.

First of all, it's not as if the child was named "Adolph Otto" or "Erwin Hitler"; it's the combination of the two names which is most concerning, and certainly wasn't an innocent coincidence. The name was intentionally given to this child in order to pay homage to one of the worst men in modern history.
I hope Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation go to school with a black guy named White People Are Retarded. Schoolyard fights would get a little bit.....interesting.
If you check where the expression "drunk the kool-aid" comes from, you will find (1) he hasn't drunk it and (2) if he had, he would be dead now. Which wouldn't be a great loss for the world.
When the boy is eighteen, he can change his name, and then the dad will be only ******** in the family.
