When it's just you and the ballot box and his name is on the form, no one is going to know.

Were his parents fans of Hitler or something? I've also heard that the name Hitler is popular for some reason in some areas of the global south like India.

Horse shoe theory at play - when you're so black you end up a white supremacist.

Well we constantly getting documentaries about Adolf Hitler non stop, not to mention people keep shouting HITLER when someone disagrees on something. Perhaps the constant chatter made the name popular regardless of the actual history.

…

Apparently his parents weren't aware of the full details at that time, and Namibia was once a German colony, so german names aren't uncommon.

Most of the time, he doesn't need to use his full name anyway, so he never bothered to change it.

Besides, only crazies would think he was a Nazi.

I'll take this opportunity to recommend Taika Watiti's dark comedy movie about Hitler, called 'Der Untergang'.
