It's surprising that Hollywood let Schwarzenegger kept his real name to use in the business. It's hard to spell and pronounce, very German (Nazi) sounding, and has a "negger" in it. Well, it worked wonders tho'.

His accent being as thick as it is it wouldn't have made any sense to change it. Though I wonder if anyone suggested he shorten it to Arnold Schwarz or something. But Arnold being Arnold, he just takes up as much space as he wants.
