I never make fun of someone's name.

For me, the children's nursery rhyme and Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue" still hold true.

Adults who think a name is more than a name and criticize or would even block someone from work at any level based on their name are biased, bigoted, or superficial.

A candidate could have a first name Adolph or a last name Machiavelli, and get my consideration and vote depending on his or her credentials and the opposition.

...if his name was Hitler? That would have been a bad choice at the time to run him. In fact, still a bad choice today.

Not in the Middle East, where Hitler has been a popular 2nd name for boys for years.
