Yep, meeting someone (especially someone nice) with "strong namesaked" name is the best way to get over the associations. Actually, I once wrote a story, where a shy and nice character was named Adolf. I just wanted to get over the association. :D
Funny you mentioned Wolfgang! Being an ex-student of German school and having many connections to Germany and German people (my bf is German), I know many people named Wolfgang - my old music teacher, a book seller who lives in St. Petersburg, a pianist and a doctor from Berlin, at least. As far as I remember, the current director of the school I mentioned is Wolfgang, too.
But usually the first impression of all non-German people is very simple: Wolfgang=Mozart.
