Dear lord. I just saw this.
First of all -
Haaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ahem
Sorry. Ahaha.. hah. Okay. I'm good.
Anyways, what I really wanted to say was that yes, the children will face problems in school with peers and teachers. I work with kids aged 5-12 and once they hit six or seven the taunting will start. Obviously Adolf will have the hardest time of it, while the others may be able to skate along by using only the first of their several names (JoyceLynn and Honzlynn aren't upsetting, just unique). The youngest (when did they have another son?!) is named Heinrich and he'll probably get along all right, at least during grade school.
My real concern is once they've moved out of childhood and into the adult world. Say you're sitting in an office, going through job applications. You see John Thompson, Tyrone Hudson, Jamie Rodriguez, Omar Kassab, Adolf Hitler.. and you stop right there, because that's clearly some sort of sick joke, right? You'd just look at it with vague confusion and mild disgust, maybe amusement, and then toss it in the trash. You might do a quick Google search to see if it's a real guy, and then he pops up under photos of a father dressed in full Nazi regalia. Our Adolf is NEVER going to be hired, at least not at any sort of job that requires resumes to be sent in online (in person he might be able to show ID and explain).
Honzlynn is probably going to have the best possible future out of all of them, as nothing really SCREAMS "Nazis!" about that name. Heinrich Hons will get some weird looks, but he'll probably be okay, too. JoyceLynn will probably just completely stop using "Aryan Nation" and pretend she hasn't got a middle name.
See, the thing is, I guess I can sort of see letting them slide for Adolf. They weren't thinking at the time, they just named their newborn something. Parents have the right to name their children, and while I don't think it's at ALL okay that they named their child something that will destroy his future, perhaps they just didn't think about it.
BUT TO GO AND NAME EVERY SUBSEQUENT CHILD AFTER NAZIS.. you know people told them all of these things after Adolf was born. You cannot claim they didn't know better. They did this knowingly. Heinrich Hons was born after all of this madness began, I think. They had to have known.
So I'm going to go with abuse, I think. Sometimes parents neglect and/or abuse their children and don't realize that they're doing something extremely wrong (I think of Genie whose father thought she was unable to comprehend him and didn't require anything other than what he was providing). It's still abuse, though.
