How about nowhere because we both know that is an offensive name and was destined to be reported.

Believe it or not it's a perfectly fine and normal name that people before and after Hitler have had. Hitler wasn't even Adolph because his name was spelled with an F. Let's not loving trip over ourselves trying to be offended at some fairly common European name because someone bad once had a permutation of it.

I worked with a guy named Adolfo and I never flipped my poo poo about his name being some kind of mexican hitler because he wasn't because it's just a god drat name.

I well aware of that. That doesn't change the fact that it's pretty obvious that someone naming a character Adolph is intentionally pushing it. The argument you just gave is very similar to an argument I heard on Maguuma mumble that pretty much boiled down to "It's okay for me to call players I don't like fags because fag is just another word for cigarettes. HURR HURR." You aren't fooling anyone.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm European (and live near Germany) but the name "Adolph" doesn't sound too offensive or anything. It's more of a normal name, really. Names like "Hitler" are for me an entirely different league.

Yeah dude I guess if you're going to automatically assume that anyone who has the name Adolph must be a nazi and you imply with your analogy that any use of the name HAS to be about hitler then I guess you won't be "fooled" into realizing that you are in fact a kindergarten baby who washes their face with gravy.

About the name Adolph...

Minutes before the servers first went live I decided I would try to reserve a first name, because I figured those would be among the most sought after. I went through a list of dead people in my extended family and I was lucky enough to reserve "Soren" and "Adolph." Adolph is named after Adolph Green, a playwright. What's obvious to you shouldn't be, because you're wrong and also a sensationalist.

Yeah well plenty of people had the hitlerstache back in the day but you don't see nobody sportin' that now do you?

Maybe just name your video game character something else. I think that would be a fine ol' solution.

Please accept my sincere apologies. Despite you innocent intentions, though, the name still violates the Naming Policy.

When this happened to me playing WoW once I flirted with the guy until I got bored and then let him know that I was dude. Didn't hear another word from him.
