Lets NOT turn this into a heated political thread. Just sharing this story with everyone

The cake shouldn't have been denied, the kid has no fault about the name his parents chose. Nonetheless, what is the attraction that the parents have with the Nazis? I mean, Adolf Hitler, Aryan Nation, Honszlynn Hinler, and probably the next kid will be named "Third Reich." No wonder people are calling them racists.

Tha father claims to have a German ancestry but because I'm Cuban that doesn't mean that my kid will be named Che, Fidel, etc.

to be fair toward the parents, they do not seem to have a problem with mixed raced persons.

Do parents bother to think at all before doing this sort of thing to their kids? This child's school experience is going to be really bad ...

the Aryan Nation name seems strange. That is NOT EVEN A NAME!!!!!

I am a little stunned at Hinler as well. Few people even know who Himmler was and even fewer would get the connection between Hinler and Himmler

I'll refrain from any political commentary, but stories like this make me wish for a return of the politics board

Yesterday, before commenting I had to do a google search.

A question,

Can you change your name before you're an adult without parents permission?

[Cyclenall]

Why don't they just decorate the cake themselves?

[Ptarmigan]

Politics aside, that kid, especially with the name Adolf Hitler would be subjected to teasings and I mean a lot of it.

I really don't think so...
