A couple names their child....

Re: A couple names their child....

Yeah, but learning takes place in the home before in the school. So if they get 5 years of 'this is okay, this is right' by the time they get to school, it may already be too late. I guess it'd be an interesting thing to research.

I actually ran into a couple in between Vegas and Flagstaff that were gonna name their expecting son Aryan. Maybe it's just like how Mexicans sometimes name a boy Jesus.

I'm glad I have intelligent parents.

Re: A couple names their child....

Go for it.
Whether or not people agree with his actions and views, I believe he was a good leader.
I personally think his actions were terrible, but I can respect his abilities to persuade people to agree with his point of views and his ability to climb political ladders.

I'm afraid causing the ****ing holocaust kinda outweighs that =/.

If I had kids, I would name them Sargon and Nebuchadnezzar regardless of their gender. Would you **** with a kid named Sargon who wore an elaborate cape and copper plate to school? I think not.

Who let fido out of his cage...?

Anyways, I guess I'll make an on-topic post.

I'm actually not surprised that this happened. There are idiots like this everywhere. Surprise.

I think these parents have yet to realize how selfish they are. They deliberately named a child Adolf Hitler, and he will now more than likely be ridiculed his entire life - unless he goes to an all Aryan school, in which he will be the all-star quarterback of the Aryan football team (called the Gestapos), get straight As, and **** all of the Aryan cheerleaders.

Re: A couple names their child....

true but being associated with someone who had tons of people killed at will just for their beliefs. his life going through school is going to be hell.

Like Lump said, most people aren't going to be like "Oh Hitler rose up to be chancellor of Germany and persuaded everyone to follow him cool". They are most likely going to be thinking "Wtf why is this kid being named after the person who directed the group that was responsible for Holocaust"

Now this is where the parents must step in. They must educate their child so that he has the ability to point out these aspects. If he is able to explain and show things such as what I mentioned, people may be forced to possibly look at Hitler in an aspect other than the one that is common. Most people are actually very uneducated on the real story behind Hitler, and he could use something like his name as educational and speaking grounds to educate the people on the good things about Hitler.

Now, if you want to argue about the holocaust severely outweighing any good Hitler has done, another educational point steps in. You could talk about the things that caused Adolf to be this demented and twisted. It was not a natural occurrence, and many people are COMPLETELY unaware of his childhood the pushed him to that point.

Har har is that still a bandwagon around here?

IMO these parents are probably the type to rebel against society and exercises their rights JUST CAUSE THEY CAN. It really is selfish. Also Aryan's didn't have anything to do with Nazi's other than the fact that they were the superior race and all other races had to be eliminated. Still doesn't mean all Aryan's were Nazi's such as the Norwegians.


EDIT: Funmonkey...there were greater leaders than Hitler...yes it is "politically correct" to do so as you're simply exorcising your right as a citizen and you can make the BS excuse that you're naming him after him because of his leadership qualities. Nobody in the right mind is going to do it for the reason you're stating. Also the things he did aren't questionable as you try to make them appear...they were appallingly horrible on an international scale. Also a poor childhood isn't an excuse to do evil things. In that case everybody should be let out of jail because "It's not their fault, something has caused them to be like this". Something always causes people to act in a certain way and you have to hold the person accountable rather than what made him/her like that.

Re: A couple names their child....

Nah, no bandwagon, man. I was just having a little fun because you were pretty serious about those names. No offense intended.

EDIT: Also, fido, I think you may want to look into the connections between Aryans and Nazism a bit more deeply. They are more closely related than you seem to think.

I am in my right mind and I fully believe someone could name their child this because of his leadership abilities.

And at what point did I say the things he did were good? I am simply suggesting that the name could have some value as an educational resource to inform the people of Hitler and his life.

Also, at what point did I say he did not deserve his fate? I did not say he didn't deserve it, I said certain things in his life pushed him to that point. While, in essence, he is responsible for his own choices, certain influences can persuade his actions majorly.

And lastly, who is to say what he did is wrong? I believe it is wrong, and I would support that claim, but you have no more of a right to say his actions were not the right actions than you have the right to say your religion is the right religion. You can present your ideas and attempt to persuade people of what you believe, but you can in no way prove that what he did was wrong other than what you believe from an individual moral standpoint.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I never said he was the best leader either. I said he was a good leader. BIG difference.

Np, thought you were just hopping on the bandwagon from when I used to post like I had downs syndrome. No offense taken. And yeah, I've thought that ever since I learned about Pre-Egyptian history...good thing I'm probably not going to have any kids.

I am in my right mind and I fully believe someone could name their child this because of his leadership abilities.

Can you do it? Yes
Is it a good idea? Hell no

Yes, you can and he was very intelligent and a great leader but I don't think I really have to elaborate on why you shouldn't name your son after the man who killed more than 6Million Jews...unless you really hate Jews or something.

And at what point did I say the things he did were good? I am simply suggesting that the name could have some value as an educational resource to inform the people of Hitler and his life.

The way you worded your post made it seem like it was open for discussion weather what he did was right or wrong. I don't care if this is politically incorrect but god damn XD

This is around the time I stop with the political correctness. I believe so strongly that what he did was wrong, I believe anybody who thinks what he did was write is nothing more than an arrogant ignorant moron and their opinion shouldn't count. I understand what you're trying to say but as a planet I think we can say what Hitler did was completely and utterly horrible rather comfortably.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I never said he was the best leader either. I said he was a good leader. BIG difference.

Was just saying why not name him after a better one? Although your reasoning is politically correct I don't find it realistic.

If you want to argue from this point, then who is to say it matters at all? After all, it is just a name. If a man named John Smith killed 6 million jews, would that mean all the people named john smith after that are going to be the same way? No, it is just a name. Maybe the parents liked the way the named rolled off their tongues.

The way you worded your post made it seem like it was open for discussion weather what he did was right or wrong. I don't care if this is politically incorrect but god damn XD

I would gladly discuss whether or not it is right. Once again, other than from your personal moral beliefs, you have no right to say what is right or wrong. He was a man who made decisions based on his beliefs, just like you and me. Are we wrong for that too?

You are allowed to have your beliefs. But to say someone else's decision is wrong based on them is politically incorrect. The same goes for treating them differently based on their decision as well.

I find it perfectly realistic. If I named my child Jackie Robinson, because I admired him for HIS abilities, it would be no different than naming him Adolf Hitler based on HIS abilities.

I'm quite sure a good portion of any English speaking nation, the UN, and any other human rights activists, would like to argue their point to you. If you want to know who he is to say what Hitler did was wrong, wear a Nazi armband around and decorate your shirt with a Swastika for a day. Tell me how that goes.

He's not speaking from an individual standpoint, as opposed to a collective agreement on morality as human beings.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I never said he was the best leader either. I said he was a good leader. BIG difference.

Then why not name them after a better leader, who didn't commit genocide?

Re: A couple names their child....

Yeah, Hitler wasn't that bad.

I mean, look at it from a different perspective.
He was persuasive,
he was just overall seemed like a good person.
Actually, he was a good leader, in my opinion.
We need more leaders like Hitler.
I love Hitler.
Hitler is ****ing amazing.
