Yes, I actually was apologizing. I can be sarcastic a lot but in that instance, I was not. :)
Ignorance is clearly this man’s issue. As with any human, he obviously has the right to name his children whatever he wants. I believe in that freedom. I am just blown away that people still exist in our society with these ignorant, outdated ideas and predjudices. And I hate to think it but, the possibility of this father passing the torch to his son is pretty good. The kid will do one of two things: rebel, change his name, divorce his parents and eventually write a biography about how crazy his parents were and how he rose above it all, or become the next serial killer.
In New Zealand, a 9-year old girl became ward of the court because her parents named her (ready for this?) Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. She was able to legally change her name to avoid even further ridicule that she was experiencing. In my opinion, there is a fine line being crossed here, and it’s hard to say where the government should cross it. Luckily for Talula, she was able to change her name and hopefully create a better future for herself. Poor little Adolf may not have that option.
I feel a protest coming on in in their neighborhood.
