A simple question, if you were born with "Hitler", and your mother, being ether a Hitler fan, or an idiot, names you Adolf. Hypotheticaly, with your currrent knowlage and veiws...would you change it? Not just the first name, bbut hte last one too.

to 'I love' or 'Uber'
Or not, whatever. Any kid named Hitler is going to get the shit kicked out of him, regardless of the first name. May as well be Adolf.

possibly. But in that circumstance, only the first name, and only to "Mecha".

Maybe she called you that so you would get picked on a lot, and then you'd grow up to be tough. I'll have to remember that for when I decide to have kids. Little Adolf, George. W and Margerat. heh heh heh! :rolleyes:

I met someone that had that last name, although they tried to get off like it was pronounced differently (Hight-ler) but it was spelt Hitler.

No, but I'd become a radical communist and convert to reform Judaism!

Why on Earth would you keep a name like that? I can't see any motivation at all unless you are clinically insane.

Just remember, if you're ever named Iosef V. Stalin, you gotta become a Neo-Nazi.

How many are there? Do they realize what their name means? Of them how many are crazy skinheads?

I know this is a joke, but you probably shouldn't joke about this type of thing.

I'm related to Hitler, and I rarely mention it.(One of his illigetimate sons was my grandfather on my mother's side.) You've got a point in that the stigma would probably be too much to bear...for a child.

BUT

An adult could handle it. Further, anyone who is actually named that would have changed their name to it anyway. I, personally, think someone like Lunatic Goofballs should do it just for kicks.

Not so, but you knew that, and furthermore, were saying that in jest. Unfortunately, I learned from experience that most people who hear me say that actually start thinking I really am a Nazi and treat me as such. One Neo-Nazi who heard about it somehow even started treating me like a dear friend until I told him to fuck off.

I wouldn't change it, but I'd get a nickname and have people know me by that one.

"Hi! I'm Adolf Hitler, but my friends call me... Cherry."

in an ideal world, I would keep the name I was born with. but since the name Adolf Hitler has a negative historical connotation, I'd get a lot of BS from society and what not, so it'd only make sense to change your name... unless of course you can handle living in this world with a name like that.

Not just the first name, bbut hte last one too.Considering that "Hitler" was a bastardization of "Heidler" that only one family we know of was subject to (one Alois Heidler), we can feel pretty confident that the last name won't be showing up on birth certificates as a last name.

What scares me is an urban legend about a Brazilian woman that named her kid Hitler Stalin Mussolini, because she heard they were important historical figures.

It does stand out from standard names in Brazil, such as:
Leonardo Plato Aristobulos.

They don't pick 'em for meaning.

Yeah, I would. You'd be subject to too much prejudice otherwise; imagine passing a prospective employer your resumé, or trying to make travel reservations.

The only way I'd keep the name 'Hitler' would be if my parents'd named me Edward Elizabeth Hitler.

And even then, I'd stick with the nickname 'Chopper'.

If my name was Adolf Hitler (which, thankfully it is not) I would doubtless be a resident of, oh, say, Germany or Austria. As a result I would change my name to something awesome. Something like...Baron von Stroganoff!

Adolf Hitler: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started killing Jews.

Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Ade instead of Adolf?

Adolf Hitler: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.
