That’s why a lot of people change their names - and, yes, it is a shame because they themselves haven’t done anything wrong.

How many people born since WW2 are named “Adolf” - even if they have some Adolf in their lineage who was a saintly and well-admired person?

How many people with the names “Hitler” or “Goering” or “Goebbels” had to change their names?

Life ain’t fair, of course - we can only play the hand that it deals to us as best as we can.

There are still some “Hitlers” left in his old home town. If it were me, I’d change it...even just by replacing the “T” with another “L”. “Hiller” is not so bad.

My family’s last name is “White”, and two of my sisters were BUSSED to the Inner City during the worst of the Boston Bussing Fiasco. They were mercilessly bullied by the black kids, and bear the emotional scars to this very day.

They probably would have been bullied no matter what their last name was, but it sure didn’t help matters!
