For the record, I don't care about the name.
I was just objecting to the argument that nobody should complain about the name being offensive because freedom of speech/a bright line of what to ban and what not to is hard to define.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism: you're free to call yourself what you want, I'm free to believe it is offensive and inappropriate and complain about it if I want.
Similarly, I can believe something is objectionable and that people shouldn't do it (and complain when they do) without thinking it should be banned.

Iron, I am pretty sure your statement about there surely being people in Austria or Germany named Adolf Hitler is false. I have an Austrian friend, and according to him that name is pretty much gone, except for very old men or middle-aged childen of former Nazi hardliners. I think it might actually be illegal to name your child that, similar to how the use of the Swastika (for things like video games, models, etc) has been banned in Europe.

Vapor, Hitler was a shit commander, and he wasn't a general!

@FD, when did I say you guys can't judge Hitler? All I said was that I find no fault in the name, and should be tolerated (I gave some reason). If you disagree, welcome to argue, after all, you also have the freedom of speech to express your disapproval of the name or my comments.

Hitler didn't really command the army, he mostly got his generals to do it. Ex. He plans to invade France, so he get general A to come up with some plan, and then execute the plan. Although, he's a really good public speeker, and debator (how else do you think he convinced everyone to be anti-semitisitc?)
