What if your great-uncle was a horrible dictator? - discuss.

An Unforgivable Name discusses the discovery that Adolph Hitlers nephew emigrated to the United States and tried to change his name and eschew all ties to his infamous relative. Now William Hitler's three son's have vowed never to procreate and thus let the family name die with them.

I am not so into reading the actual articles, but this comment made me choke on a piece of cameo apple.

That's the fear when you're an adopted child. One day you'll get the bug to look up your biological parents, and they'll send you the info, and you'll open the package, and be like, Hm. Dad was named Sheldon Hitler.

DAD WAS NAMED SHELDON HITLER?!?

Ha, ha. Seriously, what do we think here, should people end family lines just because of an unfortunate historicity? I say no. If you can have kids named Jesus and Elvis, and they get along just fine in this world, then I think some poor little guy named Kevin Hitler should be left alone too.
