Naming ones kid Moon Unit as opposed to Hitler are night and day IMO. Moon Unit will get some side ways looks and a few chuckles. Naming your kid Hitler will get you nothing. No friends unless they are neo-nazis, no job unless they are neo-nazis and a life of being ostracized by everyone except neo-nazis. The kid has no say in this. I see little difference in this and verbal or mental abuse by parents.

I am all for parents being allowed to raise their children as they see fit. How ever we as a society have determined that abusing ones children is not legally permissible. I believe this is a strong case for abuse, physical abuse aside. As Aklim pointed out, I do not know how strong the next case will be but that is why we have courts. These cases are determined on an individual basis.
