With Monroe's passion for history I just thought it would have to be something big, very big and therefore very shameful. The shame part because of how proud he is of his family history. Having been royal and lost it for reasons that could not be discussed publicly would fit the bill. It being wesen related would mean it could not be discussed publicly. It would be hard to discuss even with friends who know about wesen, if the loss was that big, and THAT unjust.
You mean like Hitler.? He was also a Blutbad in Grimm world. I hadn't thought of the name having history, but something with a stigma would make sense!
I was going for unjustified but yours would be funny too. Hitler was not the only one with that last name and it is now tainted.
Problem there is that if the name was really so shameful that they couldn't bear to even use it anymore, then why wouldn't they just change it when they came to America? Like Hitler's nephew in real life did?
