Saviona Mane, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press: Fascists in Italy offer couples 1,500 euros for each baby named 'Benito'
Talkback
Title:Stupid name games (Rob from Italy)
Name:Frank
City: RosenheimState: Germany
First names are not occupied by politicians. I know a lawyer whose parents had him baptized
Adolf after the war although they had been persecuted and exiled during the Third Reich.
Whoever falls into the name-forbidding trap shows that he is weak and insecure. If someone insinuates furthermore that Italian kids would be ridiculed abroad just for having the first name Silvio (like prime minister Berlusconi), he displays that he is nuts.
