My daughter always jokes about the names she plans to eventually give whatever babies she has (Umserriah for example).  She also jokes that she plans to call me Meemaw (um, no).  However, one set of parents seriously named their child Adolf Hitler.

And now they’ve officially lost custody, according to Ron at PopFi,

CPS officials maintain that the children aren’t being removed from parental custody due to their parents’ Nazi beliefs, but due in fact to allegations of mistreatment by Joseph Campbell against his wife and three children.  Despite no evidence of physical abuse, there are notes from Jeannie Campbell where she says she fears for her life, and little Adolph Hitler is displaying unusual aggression (albeit not for a child with that unfortunate name).

While I wholeheartedly disagree with their political and world views, people do have unalienable rights – including raising their children if they are not being harmed or neglected.  Of course you could argue that even naming their children what they’ve named them is damaging, but are they fed?  Do they go to school?  Are they safe?  It will be interesting to see how all this plays out.
