Quite a few names around but no middle names, Hitler was the product of his father Alois and his second cousin, they had to get an Episcopal dispensation in order to be married. The, even then PR savvy Hitler couldn't have been more pleased by the name change. "Heil Schicklgruber" etc. He confided to his only childhood friend, -the name Schicklgruber- "seems so uncouth, so boorish, apart from being so clumsy and impractical... he found Heidler too soft, but Hitler sounded nice and easy to remember."

At half past six on the evening of April 20th, 1889, an innocent child was born in the small town of Braunau Am Inn, Austria. The name of the child was Adolf Hitler. He was the son a Customs official Alois Hitler, and his third wife Klara. Initially Alois had taken his mother's name, Schicklgruber, but changed it in 1876 and became Hiedler, or Hitler.
Quite important - it is hard to imagine tens of thousands of Germans shouting Heil Schicklgruber! instead of Heil Hitler! Adolf Hitler later confided to his only childhood friend, August Kubizek, "that the name Schicklgruber seemed to him so uncouth, so boorish, apart from being so clumsy and unpractical. But 'Hitler' sounded rich and was easy to remember."
He also had a sister, Paula.
