      There is a very famous Joseph in a old fairy tale book which most people associate with that name.

      But Donald or Adolph?

      I mean at least Donald has a Duck, Knuth and Glover.

      But Adolf, yeah you named your kid after him…

        If you allow Don as a shortened version of Donald there are a bunch. Don Juan, Don Quixote, etc.

        Its literally just a name and was a very popular name before Hitler. I don’t see why you would have to be named after him. Are all Josephs, peter, Paul’s,Mathews marks named after the bible. No they are just names.

          Sure. Go ahead. Name your kid Adolf.

          No one is going to think you’re a Nazi…

            Hmm. You seem kinda stupid. There is no correlation between the U.S.S.R. participating in WWII, and the negative opinions people hold for Joseph V. Stalin.

            But hey, you’re young and dumb. You’ve got time to grow out of it.

              LOL as if that isn’t projection.
              But hey, you’re a dumb americunt who doesn’t know history and at best has had the colored education from his backward shithole.
              The peasants having to resort to insults when confronted with things they don’t like.
              Glad you’re going down the shitter fast, am enjoying it tremendously.
              Great entertainment. Blocking you now since I you have nothing of value to offer.
              Bye loser
