I posted a while back about stupid baby names some parents anointed their kids with in New Zealand. Well it would come as no surprise at all that idiotic parents giving their kids appallingly stupid names is not exclusively a Kiwi thing. I am often greatly amused/appalled by bogan naming conventions, so am regularly on the lookout for fine examples of parental stupidity.
Here’s one from America. Heath and Deborah Campbell from New Jersey decided it would be a good idea to call their son Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Mr Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because “no one else in the world would have that name”. He also claimed:
“Yeah, they (Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They’re not going to grow up like that.”
The name of the boy presented a problem when a local store refused to inscribe “Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler” on a cake. Said Mr Campbell:
“They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did,”
Hmmm, I can smell a stupid lawsuit coming on in the land of litigation.
But this family just gives and gives when it comes to childrens’ names. They have other children named:
- JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell
- Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell – supposedly named in honour of Heinrich Himmler.
Mr Campbell said he didn’t expect the names to cause problems when the children start school. Oh, yeah, sure thing! Poor kids – if ever there was a lawsuit in this they should sue their parents for cruelty and stupidity.
And wait, there’s still more (this is like the free set of steak knives thrown in to sweeten the deal), Mr Campbell has decorated his home with swastikas and says he is related to a member of the SS.
Fuckwit – another pair who should never have been allowed to breed.
