Weinstein might be a fairly common jewish name? Definitely not changing mine, it’s very common.
I’d definitely consider it if my family name was Hitler, or something that’s a common swear word nowadays to the point that few people even know the original meaning anymore. “Ficker” is a relatively common name in my country, but to contemporary people it’s basically “fucker”. Many change the name into “Fischer” or use their spouse’s name instead.
A co-worker’s last name was Goebbels. I offered him to correspond on first-name basis but he politely declined. I never worked closely enough to find out why he would not only keep that name but also prefer it to his first name.

Well that’s an interesting Google to find out that Hitler had a nephew who fought with the US navy against the axis.
