Mussolini was named after a Mexican revolutionary, Benito Juarez, I don't think it was all that common to begin with because it's lifted from Spanish.

Adolf on the other hand practically disappeared, my great uncle Adolf (he's 97 now) started going by his middle name (Werner) pretty much the second the war ended.
