Have you ever met...

A person with the last name Hitler? The only reason I ask is because is because my girlfriend were on the phone and wondered if there were people out there with that surname, and how many changed their name after the Feuer came to power.
What are some other last names you wouldn't wanna have?

Nope, and there's nobody called Hitler left in this world. After WWII they all had their names changed. Not because they wanted, but because they had to.

And would you please get your historical words right? He's called "der Führer" and not "das Feuer" (= the fire).

Also, the thing with names was that the church still had control over which names were good and which weren't. There were lots of Adolfs from 1933-1945, but that's about it. Of course, people were making up names and tried to name their kids "Hitlerike", but the church didn't allow it. So there's no Hitlers left on this planet. Biologically probably yes, but not with the name.

People can change their names, you know. I'm sure there's losers out there who had their surname changed to Hitler.

I know, but there's some names that are offlimit and I think Hitler's one of them. Otherwise I'd expect one of your funny US-Nazis to be called Hitler. And we'd have heard of it ages ago.

Also, the name Adolf was never in the Top 30 of first names between 1933 and 1945 in Germany. I just checked.

I've met an Adolfo.

Wikipedia says that the Italian form of my real name became ideologically motivated in the time of the Axis, as it symbolized the union of its three capitals: ROme, BERlin, and TOkyo...

... crap. I'm a Nazi scum.

Anyone with the last name Hitler would have had it changed during WWII or right after the war, obviously to escape any sort of reprisal or persecution. Adolf Hitler's nephew changed his last name to Stuart-Houston after the war, interestingly enough he served in the US Navy with the last name Hitler.

I have heard that there once was a man in Sweden named Hans Hugo Hitler, who lived between 1908 and 1986, and the kids used to prank call him.
