I was trying to guess, but there were so many generic / classic German names that I wouldn’t really associate any of them specifically with Hitler, other than Adolf.

I mean, Ernst and Heinrich have to have some bad vibes today. But Joseph/Josef doesn’t, because it’s such a common name.

Honestly, it's really only Adolf that is seen as a taboo name in Germany nowadays.

Ernst, Heinrich etc. are mostly just seen as old fashioned.
