“It was a fairly common name for me as a child. I didn’t realize it until I was growing up: this man wanted to control the whole world. I don’t want to take any of this.” “My father named me after this man. He probably didn’t understand what Adolf Hitler was.”
“Just because I have this name doesn’t mean I want to subdue Oceana now,” Unona joked. “That doesn’t mean I’m striving for world domination.”
Uno goes public with “Adolf Unona”, saying it is “too late” to change his name because he is on “all official documents”.
