Do I have to change my name because of 'muh racist southern monuments'?

If my name derives directly from the naming lineage of a southern general, do I have to change it so as not to offend?

Not talking about surnames or folks who are descendants of such historical figures, just those who have a naming tradition in their family that was originally inspired by those folks' names.

Any Albert Sidneys, or Robert Edwards, or Pierre Gustave Toutants, or Edmund Kirbys, or Edward Porters, or Richard Lees, or William Henrys, or the like out there that are ready to change their names?

Heck, there might even be a John Bel(l) or two floating around...

If your last name is Lynch, just don't donate any land/money to an organization in hopes of getting your name on the building.

No. Just a Scarlett letter that you're descended from traiterous losers.
