What really takes the cake, no pun intended, is that the parents say they aren't racist and that they just wanted to give their boy a really unique name no one else would have. Yet these are the names of all of their kids:

Adolf Hitler Campbell

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell

Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell

Really? "Aryan Nation"?

These parents really are doing a disservice to their children. Do they not realize the implications those names may have further down the line? JoyceLynn et al may grow up being judged on account of their parents' ridiculous judgment.

In most cases, one could probably get away with just using initials for the middle name most of the time. But, for other things, like driver's licenses, health records or employment documents (esp. for military, politics or law enforcement), that may not be possible.

For example, I just got done filling in a lengthy Questionnaire for National Security Positions, the form people fill out to obtain "secret clearance" for government jobs. I have to submit my birth certificate along with a gazillion items with my name on it. I can't begin to fathom the disadvantage I would be at if the investigator picked up my questionnaire and saw that my middle name is "Hitler" or "Aryan Nation". I'd have to add a statement which explains that my parents were kooky, that I never subscribed to their beliefs and outright state that I have never advocated for the violent overthrow of the United States of America.

So stupid. What were these people thinking?
