Cops Take Away 3-Year-Old Adolf Hitler

Cops Take Away 3-Year-Old Adolf Hitler - ABC News

Police and child protection officials removed a 3-year-old boy named for Adolf Hitler and his two younger sisters, whose names also have Nazi connotations, from their New Jersey home.

uhhhhhh weird i thought parents loved their kids?

 

Yes I remember this story from last year, what I found worrying were the comments supporting the naming of children Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation, and that the Government were trying to control families or break them up depending on which conspiracy was being believed.

 

Meh, this story is old. However, here is an update: Adolf Hitler Campbell's Parents Denied Custody Of Nazi-Named Children

This is the same child that made national news in 2008, when a grocery store refused to put the child's name on a birthday cake.

I know its old i found it interesting tho. Thanks for the link!

 

Poor children, what a burden to carry......

 

You wonder what some people use for brains....

 

they can then wait till of age 16-18 and have their names changed legally, I would !

 

and turn it into Schicklgruber

 

Not ww2 related so it has been moved to the FFZ.

 

dang.. there are some crazy people in this world!


those poor kids. Hopefully they will be perminately removed from those dingbat parents and given new a home and name.

 

hopefully they will eventually get adopted and then legally their names can be changed.

 

I know a few Germans in their 60s that have the first name of Adolf, but the rest of their names are of course-not with hitler in them.

 

From what I understand, Adolf and variations of it were actually quite common names in Germany (Up until a certain point of course)

 

Interesting that Adolf is often used in Austria. See here:

The first name alone is not a problem. It becomes one when the sister is also called Eva and the dog Blondie...

 

Not many Hitler's in the German white pages.

Though I notice a few of them might well have added an extra T, wonder if that's the norm for the phone book.

Still makes me smile that you can go to a Berlin architect called Albert Speer:

"Any relation?" - "Well... yes actually."

Working on the Munich Winter Olympics bid too, apparently.

The given name of Adolf or Adolph were very common in America until after the 1930s of course. One of our best basketball coaches on the collegiate level was Adolph Rupp of Kansas, the brewer Adolph Coors of Golden Colorado, and I'm sure many more. Those two just come to mind immediately.

That given name lost some of its "luster" after Hitler of course, but many German/Austrian-Americans named their sons "Adolph/Adolf" before he came to power. I don't doubt that many young boys who were given that name at birth before Hitler came to power had it quietly "changed" after he did. If I'm not mistaken the name translates to "noble wolf" or something.
