Re: The rise and fall of Dieter—what happened?
Living in Germany, I am not aware of any namesake poisoning the name Dieter, it is just that Dieter sounds old right now and parents prefer names that are either fresh and new or that old that there aren't any living relatives with that name still around. The name Dieter shares its fate with other names of the same cohort like Wolfgang or Norbert.
