Just yesterday I ran into a girl at work whose name is Swastika. She is of Indian descent. My other co-worker was freaking out over her name - she had no idea about the pre-Nazi history of the swastika as a symbol of good luck. I must say that even though I am aware of that history it was startling to see someone named that. Dumb Nazis totally ruined a perfectly nice symbol! :P
