Hi mylotters! Well yesterday my coworkers were talking about some guy who had ordered a cake at Walmart and they would not make it for them because his boys name was adolf hitler. His girls name was also some other killers name but why would anyone give their kids a crazy name like that. I mean they are either going to end up being criminals or really secluded because people will judge them. So what is one name that you never in a million years give your child? Thanks for any responses in advance and happy mylotting!

Wow, I feel so sorry for a little boy that has to go through life with the name Adolf Hitler. I would never, ever, give that kind of name to one of my children. Another name that I would give to my children is Jesus just because it would imply that they are someone that they are not. For my kids I prefer more old fashioned names. My daughter is Kathryn Teresa (named after my great-aunt and also after Mother Teresa). My son's name is Paul Thomas (named after a late friend of mine and after his father). So when it comes down to it, I also wouldn't give my children any of the more trendy names that there are these days.

I feel so sorry for the little boy called Adolf Hitler if that was true. Perhaps the guy ordering the cake was planning a nasty joke. I wouldn't ever call my son that for sure. I wouldn't call my son Todd and I wouldn't call my daughter Betty.

My Little Angel - This is my little Angel and I named him Nathan Miguel.
Oh that's really cruel, how can any parent do that! The name that I would never in a million years is "Bruhilda" hehehe or "Bruno" for boys because those names are used in films to name witches and goons. For me names is part of one's identity so it is best to choose wisely what name we give to our child.

While I can appreciate an original name, naming a child after a mass murderer or Nazi is just plain ignorant. The trauma that child has to endure is beyond comprehension, and he won't be able to change his name until he's 18. I wouldn't name my child anything too wacky, I leave that to celebrities or people who think they are celebrities. Kids have to go through enough in their lives without having to add their name to their problems.

I wouldn't give any of my kids any of the "trendy" names. By the time my kid got to be school age, there are going to be so many Caidens and Jaylins that the teachers are going to be able to make entire classes out of kids named Caiden or Jaylin. I also refuse to use a globe, map or atlas to name any child. Bronx? Paris? France? Florida? People please! A map is NOT a baby name book.

actually the probability what you've told is very low.in the current century,it's hard to spend many times on child-bearing,even though suppose someone did it,compare with the number of names,the number of babies that we make them out is still a small figure whenever it was not intentional,your problem is not a problem.i think "adolf hitler" is a joke by guess

yes you are right, why gave a name that we know it's not good to hear or they have a history in it.. for me i will not do that to my kids, i will give them unique names instead.. sorry for the kids for having that kind of parents...

Im not really sure what i wouldnt call my children, im not a huge fan of some of those wacky out there names but each to their own I think calling your child Adolf Hitler is just going a little too far, for whose benefeit is that? Certainley not the childs

Yeah that is a serous name. I have heard some strange names. I have heard Wrigley field,Jesus,and the one that takes the cake is Pigmanson. A farmer in liked his pigs so much that when he had a son he named him Pigmanson. People name their children what is important in their live.They need to thinks how the name affects the child.It stays with them for life. Also what bothers me is the parents who give their children 5 or more names. Which should a child choose.

My name, I will never give a child such an old name, I was tortured growing up, I will not share the name, hope that is o.k, just know that it is old and unfair for young children, if you guess you may get it on your first try, people always seem to guess the name thats how old it is, great post.

i just think some people do things like that just for the response, me personally, i would've never named either one of my boys "carlos", we have 5 of them in the family including my husband, his little brother and his father. That's just loads of trouble waiting to happen and some of them even have the same middle name, talk about crazy, especially with credit issues!

hi tsgrl, so a Neo Nazi in your midst. No doubt his views be indoctrinated into the child who has two misfortunes to contend with already, his name and his parents. In Hitler's day of course the name was not uncommon which caused others with the same name great embarrasment. I just wouldn't choose any name I didn't like, and prefer really old fashioned names which have some kind of connection to me, my sons middle name is Maxim, influenced from the book 'Max and Helen'.
