But, some (like my grandmother) saw right though him.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe these people are so stupid as to name their kids these names. Even if they think it's a good thing in their little racist world, the kids are certainly going to get teased and more and suffer a lot of psychological damage. Maybe some names should be outlawed!Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163354395585207840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-27564865388686833392008-12-20T00:48:00.000+01:002008-12-20T00:48:00.000+01:00Katherine: 18?

(You also can't buy or own a copy of Hitler's <I>Mein Kampf</I>. In France, they have a list of names that are not permitted because they might result in teasing and bullying. Sweden is similar, I believe. Oh, and in Australia recently, a seven-year old sued to have her name changed from Talula Does the Hulu from Hawai'i because it was embarrassing for her and she was constantly teased. Her new name was not disclosed in the article. You can read about it <A>here</A>, <A>here</A>, and <A>here</A>.

Thumbs up to RiteAid who refused to do the cake, and boos and hisses to the Walmart that did. Now I believe every child has a right to a birthday cake, but I hope this parents' campaign of hatred back fires on them. Sadly I imagine they are raising three little thems to hate with more gusto than they themselves do.<BR/><BR/>When I lived in Germany I became friends with a family whose father had been conscripted into the German army when the borders were closed at the start of WWII and he couldn't get back to Checkoslovakia. He said the best day of his life (to that point I suspect) was when he was captured by the British, who traded him to the Yanks and he was sent to Fort Hood's concentration camp for five years.Celehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471318342104018488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-39504590319773475722008-12-18T14:56:00.000+01:002008-12-18T14:56:00.000+01:00NG: Precisely!Lucy: Just be glad Hitler didn't sti...NG: Precisely!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lucy: Just be glad Hitler didn't stick with his family's original last name: Schicklgruber.

I actually was looking in the phone book once in some city somewhere and was *shocked* that the name Hitler even still exists. Had it been my family name?
