The things is, they simply cannot assume that a person is named after a dictator and refuse them the same services they would you or me. They have to consider that a person may be named after a German relative and refusing them service because of their name is discrimination. If the parents said our child is named after Hitler as a political statement, the store would have a case, but I have not seen any evidence that the parents made the store aware of that. A store cannot refuse a person a service because their name is Osama even if they are unaware that Osama is a common Arabic name and believe the person is named after Osama bin Laden.
