but according to Shirer, Schicklgruber sounds humorous to Germans as well.

I think Ahnold is a different story, because his unusual name is what made him stand out of the crowd to get noticed enough to be put in movies which gave him fame. By the name he got into politics, all you have to say is Arnold and people know who you are talking about. The lack of seriousness or dignity in his name no longer matters, because you are voting for the Terminator, not some oddball Austrian with a funny last name.
