Adolf is the first that comes to mind. This was actually a very common name and a very well liked name at one time. One man ruined it forever.

There's a somewhat interesting documentary called Meet the Hitlers about this idea. It follows a few disparate people who happen to have that last name for various reasons (coincidence, choice, familial connection) and how that affects their lives.

Do you think women ever choose to not marry a guy based on his last name? I think if Jane Smith starts dating Bill Hitler she should consider other options.

You remember on Married With Children how Marcy got divorced and later married Jefferson D’Arcy, thereby becoming Marcy D’Arcy? My wife’s sister married a guy whose last name rhymes with her first name just like that. They’ve since divorced and she went back to her maiden name, sparing me a lifetime of immature giggles and eye rolls.
