"ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," said Deborah Campbell, 25, who is Heath's wife of three years and the mother of the children. "That's sad."
I would have refused to write that if someone asked me.

The store is now having to defend itself???
The store doesn't have to say anything about why they denied writing out "Adolf Hitler" on the cake. These people wanted notoriety and they got it. Boy had party. End of story now.

Here's the question I haven't seen asked: If the parents don't think there's anything unusual or wrong in naming their children Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation, why didn't they simply choose to legally change their own names to those instead?
I find it strange that they haven't, considering that Deborah is a name with Jewish origins. Of course, I'm assuming that they're educated enough to know what they're supporting, if they are at all and not just fame-mongering.
I believe it's Italy that has a restriction on what parents can name children and in cases like this, I can see why. Yes, it's a slippery slope, so I know why the US doesn't, it just seems like it would be better than all of the therapy these kids will need."You are the dumbest smart person I have ever met in my life!"

The problems the children might encounter in school, he said, "would be icing on the cake."
Poor word choice? Or awesome word choice?

Quoth Soulstealer View PostSometimes I think we shouldn't get named until we're legally adults and decide them for ourselves. At least you can't blame anyone but yourself for a bad name then.
I went to school with a guy named Jock who, after many jockstrap jokes, started demanding everyone call him John. And legally changed his name to John on his 18th birthday.

I feel bad for this kid- I really do. His parents are racist idiots, yes.
For now he's a just 3 year old kid, who doesn't get it, and will just be happy he had a cake, presents and other kids at his party.
I hope he had a good birthday."I don't want any part of your crazy cult! I'm already a member of the public library and that's good enough for me, thanks!"

There's a thread about this story on Planet Feeback, too.
Chris M. raised a very good point:That said, I actually think these parents are unfit and would have no problems with the children being removed for their own good. I feel that these names are actually a form of child abuse, setting these children up for ridicule and jokes for their life. It would not surprise me if they are ashamed of their names. This, all for the sake of the parents wants, not the kids.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Evil Queen View PostNow realize that Adolf Hitler wasn't Aryan, and we have a whole new can of worms. (Aryans tend to be light skinned, light haired with light eyes. Hitler had dark hair and eyes. Which is why I always laughed because he was the "most jewish" looking person in the era)"Kill the fat guy first?! That's racist!" - my friend Ironside at a Belegarth practice after being "killed" first.

Quoth edible_hat View PostThen you get idiots like Mr Abolishthefamilycourt and Sydney Harbour-Bridge. Two actual (and semi-famous) cases of name changes by deed poll. Except that the first one was denied on the grounds that you're not allowed to change your name for political gain. The second one's wife left him.
