I know an Adolf. He's German, and he's lovely. Was difficult at first but I've got over the association now that I know him better.

ROFL@Adolf

smallchange that is very cryptic indeed! Ronnie Biggs?? the other train robber one?

Eva?? That's fine. Absolutely would not associate it with Hitler.

Eva Peron, Eva Cassidy, Eva Marie Saint, Little Eva, quite a few little girls I know called Eva would all come into my head before I thought of Eva Braun.

I think Eva's a great name, and I don't think the Eva Braun connection is a turn-off. It was a very, very popular name in Germany at the time - there were plenty of victims of Hitler also called Eva.

Ds's middle name is dh's grandfather's full name (ie first & surname) because there was a high profile crime committed by someone with that first name and our surname. Otherwise ds would have had that name as his first name.

Sorry, how cryptic!

no, that wouldn't put me off at all.

Eva has been very popular in the last few years and I've never thought eva braun one single time

also know a Myra, and can honestly say that until reading this thread i've never thought Myra HIndley either

it's HEDLEY! lolololol <farts> [blazing saddles]

There's no evidence she had sex with Hitler - she had to 'entertain' him at big formal parties but the sex thing seems to have surfaced with a new 'biography' about her and doesn't seem founded in fact. I think it's a lovely name and she did a lot of positive things, if you want more pleasant associations.

According to Wiki, she was married 6 times! Blimey.

would put me right off tbh
