Question: A user who created an account to ask a [fairly trollish question](https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/23025/is-israel-worried-about-the-escape-of-its-citizens) about rockets hitting a Jewish-majority country chose a user name of "vonbraun".

Wernher von Braun is the main person listed on the English language Wikipedia's [disambiguation page for Von Braun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Braun) (several of the other entries are his relatives, or things named after him, though the chemistry things aren't him). Von Braun was a rocket scientist who developed rockets for [Nazi Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun#German_career) (and the US) which were used in anger.

I flagged this username as inappropriate, and my flag was not merely not acted on, but declined.

I seriously doubt that the user involved just happens to have a surname of von braun - if they did, they would have chosen to use their first name as well, or only their first name.

This user's account name should be deleted.

Answer: 
I agree with Carpetsmoker. There is not a strong case that the username is to invoke Nazi-ism, and it is equally or more likely that it is not intended to invoke Nazi-ism at all. 

1. The user's post doesn't even seem to be anti-Israel let alone anti-semetic.
2. Judging from his Wikipedia page, Von Braun appears to be more notable as a scientist than as a Nazi. Using the name VonBraun as a way to invoke Nazi-ism seems like a ineffectual choice.
The community as a whole (not necessarily everyone, but many of them) does not regard this as an inappropriate username.
