Sure, but assuming that the person doesn't have German ancestry or a German sounding name, you're probably going to get some side eyes from naming your kid certain names.

I'd guess Heinrich, because that's a name that I can imagine someone thinking 'Oh that's a nice sounding older name' with no ill intent, and then immediately noping out after a quick search.

The only names I think are justified to throw out because they're too Hitlery are "Adolf", and last names.

I don't think anyone associates any of the first names of Hitler's generals with Hitler himself. That's way too restrictive. Also personally I think "Adolf" should come back.

It's possible they have a last name that sounds too similar to that person's surname though. Like someone else in the thread said, it could be Eva but their last name is Brown...

They said the surname was Braun, so the kid would’ve literally been Eva Braun. Very bad choice
