What's up with the naming policy anyway? A quick run through EC shows so many violations.

Also OP, if you just name yourself Aholf without the Dittler it would probably be fine.

TBH Adolf as a name shouldn't have such a stigma anymore... it's been what, 50 years?

Yes. Exactly 50 years. Hitler died in 1969 while they were faking the moon landing.

74 years, that name will always have a stigma, I mean after 6 million Jewish people died and 3% of the world population died, its hard for a name to beat that dark cloud.

There is a Japanese restaurant in the mall by me named Tojo's Kitchen...nobody seems to care. Most don't even connect it to WW2.

Adolf is very rare in Germany (along with most of its other European language equivalents), although it was common before WWII so there are still some very old men with the name.

I don't think it will come back any time soon...there was too heavy a stigma and now there just aren't many people who would have someone they love to name a kid Adolf after.

The connotation is still strong too, but I don't think the stigma will survive another century.

They actually did waves of name changing - the elf tears created a lake bigger than rathe and many were changed back and gms had to publically ask people to stop /petitioning name violations cause of the sheer volume.

Classic p99!

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.
