I agree that if it is a German name it is probably something unpronounceable.
I just had a horrible thought. Remember the early episode when Nick was looking at a film of Hitler and he wolgas into a Blutbad? What if Monroe's last name is Schlickelgrubber?! (Which was Hitler's original last name; his father changed it when he was a kid.)
(As a matter of fact, there were two nephews of Hitler living in New York at the end of the 20th C. [and they may still be alive, although they'd be in their 90s]; Hitler's older half-brother Aloysius [Alois] immigrated to the US in the 1920s where he married an Irishwoman and had two sons, both of whom served in the US Army during WWII. Neither married or had children, so that branch of the family is extinct.)
I also heard about Hitler's grand nephews. As I understand it they both decided to remain single and childless and purposely allow the family line to die out. Rather sad really, they never did anything wrong, but there it is. How do you tell your children that Adolf Hitler was their great grand uncle?
