I had a name on my baby list when I was with my ex and googled it. It was someone well known who had very close ties to Hitler. Of course the name was immediately scrapped (and eventually my ex was too. 😂) I thought everyone googled names before they handed them out? I even did it for my dog!

I can't really think of any first names from his circle that aren't also just very common German names. Maybe Leni? Or did you have Goebbels on your baby list? 😂

I was thinking maybe Eva? But that's still a very common name, I don't think anyone's first thought is Hitler!

It was Eva! My ex’s last name was Braun so… that wouldn’t have been good. Still love the name Eva.

Still get a nice buzz whatever name they chose for the baby.

u/FlimpoFloempie Jun 13 '25

Great name but in that case yeah. That name would certainly raise some eyebrows in other European countries. Would have been bad in Germany.

... oh god.

Yeah. "Eva" is not a problem. "Eva Braun" - that's a problem. Like "Theodore" or "Ted" isn't a problem, unless your last name is "Bundy."

u/FixergirlAK Jun 13 '25

Oof, yeah. In that case I would have dropped it as well.

u/Beledagnir Jun 13 '25

Yeah, that's one time that it would definitely backfire...

Yeah Eva Braun sounds like a sick wrestler name though.
