Are you a resident of Potenza, Italy? Are you expecting a baby next year?

If you answered “yes” to both questions, the Movimento Sociale Fiamma Tricolore (a small neo-fascist political party in Italy) would like to suggest the baby names Benito and Rachele.

The party will give $1,940 to Potenza parents who name their 2009 babies after either the World War II-era dictator or his second wife — so long as those parents also “promise to use the money on cribs, clothes, food or other necessary items for their infants.”
