RE: What's in a name?

Christopher Jones writes: "And you mentioned the name Siegfried as a Wagnerian name that Jews used.  In fact, I suspect the use of Siegfried had more to do with their desire to integrate into Victorian/Wilheminisch society than a Jewish fascination with the Germanic Sagen.  Speaking of German names, it is now time for an authentic Jewish joke from the Nazi period.
 
After the 1935 Nuremburg Racial laws, it was Verboten for German Jews to change their names into more Aryan sounding ones.  Nevertheless an intrepid Jewish fellow finds the right civil servant (Beamter) responsible for this.  He harangues endlessly the Beamter that he simply MUST change his name and that he cannot go on living with his name in its present form.  finally, just to get rid of this Jewish pest, the Beamter takes off his pince nez and snarls:
 
Ok well what is this awful name of yours that you want to change?
 
ADOLF STINKFUS (stinky feet for non German speaking Waisers) he answers.
 
The Beamter is aghast. He starts to think and talk to himself. "Now that really is bad."  He turns to the Jew and says that yes, maybe in this one special case, with a name like that maybe he can arrange it.  And he finally asks: "And what do you want to change it to?"
 
"Yitzak Stinkfus."
