Wow!, I wonder how teacher's will be able to call on him in class. "Yes, Adolph hitler?"....no. Anyway, as you guys said, their trailer trash, so he probably won't have an education even if he's totally capable. Very sad. In the article the father said that he wouldn't have any problem if the son hung out with black kids. What did he say about jews?--NOTHING Those people are filthy bastards and should go to jail for this, really dumb!

Why would parents name their kid this?

Adolf is actually a very beautiful name. If Hitler never was named that, I would probably name my kid Adolf. I mean, the name itself in Germany means something like "Brave Wolf" or something. It is a beautiful sounding name. It's a shame that all the bad world leaders have such good names. 
Hmm, you could be right about that. I'm not really sure where to find out.
Indeed. One ******* had to **** it up.

I dunno, Benito is kinda meh, Josef is still cool, and I don't think George is going anywhere.
Oops, did I say that out loud?

I agree. I hate how some things ruin certain names. For example I'm really fond of the name Damien, but I fear the Omen ruined that name for a lot of people.
Not really. I went to school with a guy named Damien and no one made fun of him or anything. However, I went to school with a guy named Elvis and he got made fun of sooooo much.
I went to school with a guy named Hercules, and he was made fun of. What did he ever do to you?

I agree, I like the name Adolf, I would name my child that. But it's not the first name that's the problem. It's both the first and middle that's the problem here. As long as it's not Adolf Hitler and what ever last name, it should be fine. Plus some people just know Hitler's last name.
No surprises here. As a minority, I can tell you that Philly and Pittsburgh is fine. Mostly everything else in between is practically Alabama.
Don't tell me it ain't true because you haven't been denied road instructions or stared at(with hatred) by young children.

Because they want to make sure their child is at a disadvantage in life. Some parents are just dumb people.
You wouldn't see Ford putting out another Edsel. Too much association with a poorly-designed, poorly-built junker of a car. And you know what? It was named after Henry Ford's son, Edsel, who in turn was named after Henry's childhood best friend. I don't expect to come across anybody named "Edsel" for a long time.
Plus, once Adolf has a Jewish teacher (maybe not ever, as the case may be) or watches a film or does a history report about the Holucost, he WILL be ridiculed and he WILL be angry and upset with his parents.
And I imagine some of the Brits reading his across the pond will understand why I would never name a kid William Richard Rogers, or anything to that effect. Although it has to be said, My last name isn't Rogers, so that poses little problem.

Actually, this name would never be allowed in germany, as the authories ("standesämter") only accept white-listed names for childs. So in germany, not any name is possible.
And: the correct spelling is Adolf, if you want to make a connection to Adolf Hitler. Adolph is an (older) variety of this name.
The parents have to be absolutly nuts. I second the poster who suggested a tour to the remains of the concentration camps in germany and poland, maybe they would start to think about it again....
If you think about it when someone is named Adolf Hitler and automatically think that is stupid and all that, a lot of people had the name Osama before all the terrorist attacks started and saying that they have a stupid name and their parents are racist etc. Though in this case, I guess you can say these people went out of their way to name their children socially unacceptable names.
apologies if this is a repeat post, but the kids were removed from the house:

Whilst this seems sensible, is it legal at all?
As far as I'm aware, In America you have freedom of speech protected and you can think what you like and bring your kids up and name them what you like ... so unless there was some abuse going on (aside from racial indoctrination) how can they justify that?
If not why haven't they taken the Westboro kids away?
