Back to the Hitler thing, it's like people saying I'm responsible for the holocaust because I have German heritage (yes, someone said this to me once). It just makes no sense. If your last name is Hitler or Hell, I don't think you should be punished for it, nor do I think you should feel forced into changing your surname.

Again, people decide to change their names because they don't want the baggage that comes with it. In this case it may be the catalyst to change that last name for that family. It may not.
I can attest to the fact that my great great great grandfather changed the family name to escape persecution of the Spaniards. He could have easily been right and stuck with it. I don't think I would be here today if he did.
The question to really ask yourself, do you want to happy or do you want to be right?
