Read this update today, thought it was interesting.

I still have not heard of any concrete evidence that these parents are unfit, although the state insists that it is NOT because of the names of the children.  Hopefully they actually have valid proof that the parents were abusive.

I love when people say "I'm not racist. I have black/white/asian/spanish friends/family!" Just because you're associated with people of a different background doesn't mean you're not racist. Obviously, these parents don't care that their children will be judged based on their decision to name them after someone like Hitler.

Thankfully when the Kids get older... there is a thing called a "Legal" name change... should they decide they want to do so. Some parents are dumb, and should not be allowed to name their own kids!! lol

That's what I thought Moon Unit and Dweezel Zappa would do when they grew up. They didn't.
