Why should a historically famous mass murderer stop you from exercising your right to keep your family name, or the name of your husband? Just because you happen to share his uncommon name doesn't mean that your identity has to be entwined with his.
There are 62 Mr and Ms Hitlers in the United States, according to www.meta-people-search.com. Several are in their eighties and ninties, born when young Adolf was still a nobody in the beer halls of Munich. Yet there are younger people, including what seems to be a family with little Hitlers in Salt Lake City, and couples in Wisconsin and Mississippi.
One would also think there is a sufficent quotient of crazies and kooks in the United States for there to be people who would have changed their name by deed poll. Only one person was discovered, with two street addresses that included '666 Main Street' and '1 Pretend Road', suggesting that there is a unobservant metadata manager somewhere. Perhaps people are prevented from naming themselves Adolf Hitler, although some have evidently succeeded with names like 'Adlof' and 'Adlaf'.
Sure enough, the naturally born Hitlers would have suffered strange looks, ridicule and gossip, particularly during World War II. One wonders how many dumbfounded customers Karen Hitler would face each day if she worked at Denny's—Hi, my name is Karen Hitler and I will be your waitress tonight.
Outside the United States, there is Hitler Pamba, a noted Australian aboriginal artist. The former (now assassinated) leader of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwean Liberation War Veterans Association, Chenjerai Hunzvi, adopted 'Hitler' as his nom de guerre, an odd choice for a medical doctor who married a Polish woman.
And in case you think this is trite, just realise that history's latest anti-Christ, Osama bin Laden, has a surname and first name considerably more common.
