Would seem to be much easier for the government to just refuse to register the objectionable name. The parents can call him whatever they want, but his legal name will be George or some other innocuous name assigned at random.
Are they idiots? You betcha! But it isn’t (yet) illegal to be an offensive idiot.
Let us not forget Major Major Major.
Promoted by an IBM computer with a sense of humor..
Looks like he's eligible to run in '40 (he'll be a tad over 35 on Inauguration Day 2041).
Spell it with a “K” and get Parent of The Year!
Let us not forget Major Major Major.
Or the four George Forman brothers
Nor the late Lieutenant Quarles Harris, Jr.
Or son grows up embarassed by the name, goes by Dolph, and eventually changes it to Dolph Harvey?
Or keeps the name and finds the cure for cancer! Then everyone names their kid after him and the mustache makes a comeback!
It”s a strange world!
At which point he was Major Major Major Major.
Must have read that more than 40 years ago, and it still strikes me as funny.
There should exist a Federal list of names which can never be registered on a birth certificate in the US—kind of like with license plates—but it should consist of reason and logic and be very limited. The CPS should never have been allowed in the home, if no other abuse was noted.
Where are you going to get the incandescent light bulbs for that thing?
Aren’t Adolph Hitler’s actual relatives (descendents of Patrick Hitler son Adolph Hitler’s half brother Aloise} supposed to be living in New Jersey under an assumed family name?
“This is not about free speech. The parents are abusive.”
If the parents are abusive, that should be proven in court. The government does not get to tell us what to name or not name our kids. That goes for Moon Unit, Dweezil, Mohammed, and LaTrina as well.
Not. their. perogative.
I bet that in the past few years there has been a whole boat load of little boys named Barack. Take those kids into custody to protect them from the depraved idiots.
My Grandfather was a card carrying Communist in the 1930s and named my Uncle Joseph Stalin Reynolds. He never used his middle name and became a stanch Republican. Adolph is an old German name The Hitler part the boy will just drop or just use the H. One Italian Boy was named Benito Mussolini -— He dropped the Middle name-—
What about all the kids named Jesus? or Mohammed? Or Alexander? A silly reason to get involved in a family life.
