I wonder if they manage to not be completely brainwashed and kool-aid addicted, if they will want to change their names before 18 and there will be a court case.

I've actually met people named Arian or Aryan, who weren't white, wtf is that about? There's also a chick I've run into a few times named Ariann and it is pronounced Aryan...seriously, what are people thinking?

Hey, my real name is Arya. There is a bigger world beside the Anglo-Saxon world out there. Arya, Arian or aryan is a perfectly acceptable name in many cultures.

Hell, Swastika is still very acceptable in Asian societies. There is even a hotel called Swastika Bungalowl in Bali, Indonesia.

I know dear, but you don't live in north Idaho where the Aryan Nation was headquartered. I find it strange that people locally would do this.

The swastika was a symbol of good luck and prosperity before the Nazis adopted it. Now, the first thing many people think of when they see a swastika is the Nazi regime.

I feel sorry for these poor kids, especially li'l Adolf. JoyceLynn can at least go by her first name, and Honszlynn could use her middle name Jeannie, but Adolf is in for a nasty shock when he starts school (if not before). I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to court on his 18th birthday for a name change.

Those parents deserve a swift kick in the teeth... for starters.

ETA: And wouldn't it just be ironic if one of the kids marries a Jew, or converts to Judaism, or turns out to be gay... or all three.

I agree 100% with the supermarket's decision. It's nice to know some people still have some sense.
