I saw this story the other day, elsewhere and something's been bothering
me. Can someone explain the third kid's name (Honszlyn Hinler Jeannie)?
I think I'm missing a referent, although it does sound awkward.... I
haven't been able to dig up a reference for either Honszlyn or Hinler.

I imagine there will be some public discussion, at least in New Jersey,
about whether there should be a policy. I don't know how it is in other
states, but here in Georgia you can't put whatever you want on a vanity
license plate for your car, so why shouldn't there be broad, reasonable
standards for what is unacceptable when it comes to naming children? If
someone chooses to have a ridiculous name when they're an adult, then
they could have it legally changed.
In that particular family there are other children who also have
unfortunate names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlyn Hinler Jeannie.
It's just unacceptable for people to think this is ok to do to their
kids. People should not think they have the right to do whatever they
want just because "it's a free country."
Just my opinion.

Love it, Marty!!!
One would think that parents would be more mindful of what they name
their children... but take a walk through a shopping center or mall and
you'll see that such is not the case. Celebrities are VERY GOOD at
picking strange names.
Poor kid probably doesn't even know who Hitler is...

Ron,
When I have a kid, I think I might name him Jacob Protocols of Zion
Firestein just to scare the people out there who are like this guy.

I've just been reading the story about the charming New Jersey couple
and the shop that refused to make a birthday cake for their (no doubt
equally charming) 3-year-old son, little Adolf Hitler Campbell. Are
there no laws in the USA designed to protect minors from having their
lives ruined forever by their neo-nazi, moronic and selfish parents ?
Does the First Amendment guarantee of free speech really mean that any
parent is completely free to give his/her child whatever name he/she
chooses - no matter how utterly appalling it may be or how likely the
child will suffer grievously as a result ? Surely in a rational society
there must be limits to the right to free speech. Here in Australia we
have no equivalent to the First Amendment and my understanding is that
th! e various State and Territory Registrars Of Births, Deaths And
Marriages have a statutory discretion to refuse to register an
outrageous or offensive name. I'd be really interested to hear what USA
List-Members think of this case.
