My 4th great grandfather's half-brother's first name was Hitler. The year he was born is lost to history, but my grandma told me that he was born before Adolf Hitler rose to power. I didn't get to interact with him, but my mother, aunt, uncle, and others probably did. My mother said that she never thought anything of Tatang Hitler's name when she met him. I don't think that Hitler's name is out of place, considering he ha(d/s) siblings named Colon, Suñer, and Bellie. I like Hitler as a surname and a forename, but under NO circumstances should you name a child Hitler, just name them Hiedler if you're trying to honor a Hitler instead.
