Well, most people don't accept responsibility for their own actions. They sue McDonald's when they spill coffee on themselves, and sue homeowners when they fall on a knife while trying to rob a home, and (at least try to) sue McDonald's for "making them fat."
So why not go along with the crowd?

That is so dumb!
That's an ignorant way of thinking, that a name is bad, because a socially unexseptable person had that one.

The name isn't bad, it's why they gave him the name that is the bad part. The parents were blatent Nazis(with swasticas in their house), who were undoubtably naming their child after Adolf Hitler.

It isn't as though they named him Adolf, there is nothing wrong with the name Adolf, they named him Adolf Hitler, they knew it would cause reactions from people and it is a name that has a lot of hate caught up in it, you just can't get away from that fact

The name isn't bad. I feel bad for the kid having a hard time getting his birthday cake. But, I can understand why some people would refuse to do it.

I don't know about you all but I never had my middle or last name on my cake, just my first, I doubt they would have had any problem simply using Adolf.

It sucks being named Adolph Hitler, but I feel worse for his sibling named "Aryan Nation".

Yeah, over at FireProClub there's a four-or-five page topic on this...
Someone said that "naming your kid Adolf Hitler is psychological abuse if I ever saw it"
You gotta feel sorry for that kid. Imagine going through school being named "Adolf Hitler". That would be a rather fucked-up thing to have to live with.

At least they can eventually change it but yeah I really do feel sorry for those kids. At least they have been taken away from those parents while they are still quite young and no behavioral problems were mentioned so they have a decent shot at growing up to be mentally stable people.

No, seriously JCC, I'm with them on this. Why is it confusing. You know my opinions on rights and freedoms, and on stirring the pot, but they really should accept the fact that it would rattle peoples cages.
On a side note to my German fellows on this board: Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the name Adolf rather common and pedestrian in German? (If pedestrian is the right word to use).

No, not really. I know one person who's second name is Adolf. Other than that, I've never met anyone whose first name was Adolf that wasn't born in the 20's or 30's.

Well after Hitler I imagine it's popularity goes down, but it's not exactly some sort of bizarre name, is it?
... you know what, on second thought, I really don't want to know what counts as bizarre in Germany. I have nightmares over what's considered perfectly normal in Germany.

Oktoberfest would be the reason I went three years ago mate.
I would be talking about the guy who raises 47 pound rabbits for food.

Bizarre? No. However, I think the names "Adolf" and/or "Hitler" were blacklisted. I mean, I know for a fact that using a Nazi salute for political purposes is illegal in Germany. JBL almost got in trouble for using it when the WWE did a show in Munich. (I think it was Munich)
And, it's not like you see people named Adolf every day.

I just looked it up. Adolf is a variant of Adolph, the Teutonic name meaning wolf. So I imagine it being a very common name at some point.

I know two people named Adolf, it was an old family name in both cases, and really neither of them have had much of an issue because of it, other than a bit of teasing in school but pretty much everyone gets teased at some point in school.

Yeah, I think it would've been seen as a cool name if that damn dictator didn't ruin it for everyone.

I don't know. I've heard some fucked up stories about child services messing up perfectly healthy families, while completely ignoring really messed up situations. For example, Piers Anthony wrote in the back of one of his Mode series books about a situation where a girl was taken from her family because she was allowed to read said book. Saw another situation on the news awhile back where a man didn't know Mike's Lemonade had alcohol in it and bought some for his little boy at a sporting event, and the boy was taken away by child protective services and was even denied placement with relatives who were social workers. It's idiotic to name a child Adolf Hitler, but it's hardly something to take custody of a child over, and there may or may not have been something else going on. If that's all they took him over though, it's downright criminal.

How does naming your children stuff like Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation not indicate the strong likely hood of a fucked-up situation to you?
For that matter, why the hell do people on this sight always assume that society is horribly corrupt and in the wrong every damn time? There's always some jackoff assuming that there's some big evil institution oppressing everyone no matter how fucking nuts the situation is.
When an infant dies, and her mother has AIDS but refuses to take medicine, stop breastfeeding, and continues to have unprotected sex with her husband. The coroner's conclusion that she died from AIDS is suddenly a political move from a power-mad doctor.
When an infant who's been named ADOLF HITLER is taken away from his family, it's not because the parents are most likely deranged, it's a political assault on free-speech.
Health Codes don't exist to protect public health they exist so that grocery stores and restaurants can throw out their old stock for the sake of wasting it, because we all know that corporations just like doing that kind of shit.
What the fuck is wrong with some of you people?
