Have you ever wondered if you should have named your child something different? Oh, like you think you picked the wrong name? Here's a quick way to tell: head down to the ShopRite and see if they'll put it on a birthday cake. If they will, you've got the green light, my friend. However, if they refuse, you possibly made the wrong decision. Just ask Heath and Deborah Campbell of Greenwich, NJ.
Their precious little 3 year old has the name Adolf Hitler Campbell. Yep, that's right and ShopRite refused to put it on a birthday cake. Now the parents are all huffy that their child was discriminated against. Hello!! Is any one home in that hollow you call a brain? They didn't just want the name with Dora or Strawberry Shortcake theme. Oh noooo, that would've been too normal. Try a swastika on a three year old's birthday cake. She might not even know what it means and for her sake, let's hope not.
Do these parents not realize what they did to this child? The dad keeps saying move forward and not backward, as he makes his way around the newspaper and internet scene. Man, are you flippin' stupid or what? If you don't want everyone else to move backward, then why did you (3 years ago?) Are you crazy or just stupid? I would find it just a weeee bit weird if I had a boy and named him John Wayne Gacy (last name inserted.) I really think other's would too. Plus, if I went to a bakery/grocery store and they refused to put his name on a cake featuring a knife with blood, I could COMPLETELY understand, because that child is named after a serial killer. Makes completely perfect sense.
Let's hope for little Adolf's sake, she finds a nickname. Do you realize the torture and heartache of walking into a job interview for some executive branch of work and telling the folks her name? I would be willing to bet, regardless of her qualifications, she wouldn't get the job. Sorry, Adolf, your mom and dad have branded you for life, girlfriend. Plus, if she starts lining the Barbie's up, concentration camp style, it might just be time for you to do a little worrying.
In the meantime, for those of us that name our children somewhat 'average Joe' names, do not name your child: (I'm sure there are more, these are just some off the top. )
1. John Wayne Gacy
2.Charles Manson
3. Jezebel
4. Adolf Hitler
Cause when ShopRite refuses it, you just have to go to Walmart.

Come on over and sit on the Front Porch for a Spell!
