I didn't get offended so you don't have to apologize. Discussion between people in different countries is usually more difficult alreadu, then add the fact that we do this on a forum.....misunderstanding is normal.
The freedom of naming your child whatever you want can not be called a 'first order right' (sorry for not using the correct english word) as are right of enough food and water, also not in the same order as freedom of expression, it is beyond that. And for me you are fine calling a child whatever you want, but naming somebody after a somebody that did such terrible things so recently just shows the parents are morons. And a normal moron would just change the name. or not mention it in the press when confronted, but these parents were even further away.
But we are just discussing some populist thing if the day and this case doesn't have anything to do with freedom.
Just like the heate debate in Holland about if women should be allowed to wear a burka. Nobody ever mentioned that in real life there are only 3 woemn that actually want to.
