These all beg the question though, what names do you consider to be unacceptable for whatever reason? For example, most people would never consider naming their child Adolph these days.

So true! It's just one of those things written in stone by societies. Of course it shouldn't be that way. But there should also be limits. I mean 746 letters for a full name is just ridiculous! I'd like to know what mental/psychological state these parents were in while choosing that name

Well, maybe not here. I'm sure there are still a lot of Adolph's floating around Austria and Germany regardless of the negative connotations. I do bet, however, that there aren't many people by the last name "Hitler" anymore :p.

I'm waiting for the new season to come out eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh I don't think Pam and Jim have gotten married yet.
Also WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YY back. 8 insect legs in a chocolate bar is very sad. I believe that most people eat like 50 spiders a year. They get smothered in whipped cream or peanut butter so if you like either watch out...
