Is it child abuse to name your son Adolf Hitler?

Here's one of those "wacky news" stories. Some guy named his kid Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and "because no one else in the world would have that name." (there's a good reason for this). His daughter is named "Aryan Nation", probably for similar reasons.
Anyway, they threw him a party and wanted the bakery to write "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler" on the cake and the bakery refused and now the parents are angry.

My take. Parents need to stop expressing their "creativity" by naming their kids after weird stuff like trees, dinosaurs, earth moving equipment, and genocidal dictators just because they want to be different. If Adolf Hitler is such a great name, go down to City Hall and change your own damn name to Adolf Hitler, but leave your kid out of it and go with "Bob" or something.

Thats insane. It seems to me like the parents just want to screw up their childs life. Imagine going through highschool... being called Adolf Hitler, no chance of a girlfriend and very few friends - if any. In one of my classes, there is one person named James Bond, and you can noticeably see how it affects his life (not in a good way).
I'd definitely say this is child abuse

Looks like one of those made up news stories that fill in when there isn't much news. Wonder what will happen to all those kids who were name 'George Walker Bush' by their excited tax-relieved parents.
No one died when Clinton lied.

Well I think that I'll choose the name of my son/daughter (if any 
) because I like that particular name or after some person I really admire (a poet most likely).
There's nothing wrong naming your child George or even Adolf if you're in a place where it's not so uncommon - but it demonstrates extraordinary bad taste to name a son just to "have fun" (I think of Superman/James Bond cases here) or to create a living memo of horrible things.

Three children with names associated with Hitler's Nazi movement? I don't think it takes much reading between the lines to see what's going on in this family.
"We Americans got so tired of being thought of as dumb by the rest of the world that we went to the polls last November and removed all doubt."
