What's in a name?

Adolph Hitler's real name was Schickelgruber (as I recall the spelling). Would he have become the charismatic master of his nation under that name? Very doubtful. Churchill did not change his name, but had a perfect one, very evocative of hope and faith in desperate times. Stalin sounds much like steel, most appropriate. Roosevelt rolls off the tongue nicely, whereas his Republican opponent Wilkie sounds, well, like weakly.

There is a lot in a name.
