Re: Besides Adolf, what name do you think has been ruined permanently?
Andrew is a name I think might be ruined forever in the future, due to associations with Elizabeth II's second son Andrew, Duke of York, who is known for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein (and he is known to be on the Epstein list), as well as controversial internet personality Andrew Tate, who is infamous for his misogynic views.Also, about Vladimir, I think he will remain popular in the Slavic nations. Still, its reputation will be forever destroyed in the West by Putin especially if the current invasion of Ukraine evolves into a full World War (which I doubt).

I agree about Vladimir. I don’t see it being forever ruined the way Adolph is. It’s always been popular in Slavic countries and many people in these countries associate the name with the Kyivan Rus leader Vladimir the Great.
