    There is a very famous Joseph in a old fairy tale book which most people associate with that name.

    But Donald or Adolph?

    I mean at least Donald has a Duck, Knuth and Glover.

    But Adolf, yeah you named your kid after him…

      If you allow Don as a shortened version of Donald there are a bunch. Don Juan, Don Quixote, etc.

      Its literally just a name and was a very popular name before Hitler. I don’t see why you would have to be named after him. Are all Josephs, peter, Paul’s,Mathews marks named after the bible. No they are just names.

        Sure. Go ahead. Name your kid Adolf.

        No one is going to think you’re a Nazi…
