If you happened to be born with one of the most negatively associated names...

Once you reached an age where you could, would you change your last name if it was Hitler ?

(Apparently for some crazy reason you can type Hitler in posts, but not thread titles, hence the oddly worded title.)

Yes, I would.

On a side note, I had a friend who had the last name Gaylord who swore on his life that he would get his last name changed. He still has yet to do so :P

Depends. If, say, a company does not hire you for your name, I might be able to sue them. Then I would totally keep that name.

No. I wouldn't change my name if it was the same as George Bush or Stalin or Chris Crocker (actually maybe Chris Crocker wouldn't want to be mistaken for THAT THING).hongkingkong

I said Hitler specifically. I didn't put it in the title because it wouldn't let me and I didn't want to circumvent the filter...

Hitler um yeah (btw what jerk gave me that name!??!?!). Other names, probably not.duxup

Nobody gave it to you. One does not normally choose their last name. :P

I said no unless it was Chris Crocker. Come on seriously its just a last name, its an official thing I wouldn't go changing it because one A hole had it. Just like the Bin Laden family, why should they get jip they disowned Osama.

Adult Swim was airing the English dubs.

I'd love it. Just be like, "What's up, I'm Hitler

The heck they didn't! They knew what the name would be, jerks!

Oddly if the name was Stalin, I think I'd keep it.

Dude your name is Stalin! That's crazy.

I know!

I'd wanna be Stalin Mussolini Bin Laden. Anyway, It really wouldn't bother me.

You could have it as your first or middle name.

The first post specifically says last name.

What do mean like if my name was Harry Balls, would I change it to Harry Hitler Yes Probably.cowboymonkey21

i think he means if your last name was initially Hitler would you change it?

There are tons of people with the name Hussein in fact I worked with a guy with that as his last name.

But no would not change it, I would live with it and let the hatred of being poked fun at about it build up inside then unleash that anger in a fury of death upon the individuals that made fun of me.
