You're not comparing apples to apples on many levels. One, you didn't include Saddam's first name. It would be one thing if these loser parents named him Adolph.
Two, I don't believe anyone is more responsible for as many deaths as Hitler is.
A few thoughts. Because of the infamy of the name, this kid will probably be ridiculed. This is not about whether or not the parents have the right to name their kid Adolph Hitler or not. They can name their kid anything they want. However, naming your kid something bizarre or something that is reminiscent of something heinous will set the kid up to be made fun of. Doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. It's just the facts of what will occur.
One other thing. I live pretty close to where this family comes from and I know the area very well. This area is well known for it's anti-semitism and the number of neo-Nazi groups that operate out of there. There is no doubt as to why this father named his kids what he did, regardless of what he claims.
so what if he just gave the kid a middle name of hitler?
it IS the same thing.

If your kid has a middle name of Joseph, should he be ostracized and his patriostism for not changing it questioned becuase its the first name of Stalin? No. But if his middle name was "Joseph Stalin" then you'd probably have a bit more to think about.
Because when he was named Saddam Hussein was likely little known to completely obscure, which of course you don't even think about because you don't' actually give two ****s beyond trying to be a very very crappy partisan hitman
Ever heard of sarcasm Zyphlis? It was a joke.

That kind of thing is unique to the specific name. In common usage, Hitler has the same connotation as Adolf Hitler. That isn't true of Hussein. Saddam Hussein is much more easily identified by the name Saddam than the name Hussein.
My point is that it shouldn't matter what his name is. It's his name. Let the kid have his cake for ****s sake.
I can think of two men who are responsible for more deaths than Adolf Hitler. Stalin and Mao Zedong. Mao was responsible for the death of 64 million people yet there are people who idolize him. In fact you can buy t-shirts with his bust on them in Hollywood boutiques. There is a resturant on Melrose Ave in Hollywood called Mao's Kitchen it is named after Mao. Why is that acceptable but Hitlers Kitchen is not? My point is that all of these evil men including Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, and many others should be treated with equal disdain. But they are not. As a jew I have a personal reason for my feelings about Hitler because of what he did to my people. There are Holocaust deniers today such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who calls for the destruction of Israel who imo perpetuates anti semitism. Though he may not be on a level with Hitler he is a dangerous man.
If I were chinese it would saden me to see American youths wearing Mao t shirts. But Mao and Che get a pass because they are Hollywood chic. Why?
MAO'S KITCHEN MENU
A murderer and his murdering hero
Che Guevara and Mao Zedong
Why would you do that to your child?! Even if you are a neo-nazi, it seems like you have to common sense to recognize that you are about to ruin your kids life. He should have changed his own name to Adolf Hitler if he really wanted to pay his respect that badly. Some people....

Are you seriously comparing Che Guevara to Mao and Stalin? Pick up a ****ing history book please. Please I beg you for the sake of honest debate. Then you'll have a clue as to why he's given a 'free pass'.
