At Monroe and Rosalee's marriage Trubel came in just as the minister was announcing them as Mr. and Mrs. _________.

Yep! I noticed this too. Heh. :)

I was wondering at the time "are we finally going to learn Monroe's last name?"

I have pondered why they are keeping Monroe's last name a secret...

Monroe himself keeps it a secret.

His parents seem secretive about it as well.

Let's see...Monroe's grandfather is German.

And we saw Nick watching that video of Hitler, where he saw Hitler woge into a Blutbad.

Hitler spoke in 'High German' and Monroe mentioned that his grandfather spoke in 'High German'.

Nooo...the writers wouldn't do that would they?

That Monroe shares the same last name as Hitler? ...It would be a good reason for keeping it a secret.

Hitler was a Schakal, wasn't he? I remember him being a Schakal. He didn't look like a Blutbad to me, and given his parents' reaction to intermarriage, it's unlikely that either of them had Hitler for a parent when Hitler wasn't a Blutbad.

Also, Hitler never had kids, IRL. :D

They refuse to share it, because the writers are winking at the audience. :\ Which isn't good enough for me (I must have an in-universe reason), so my best theory is that his last name is "Schneetmacher" (maybe a Schneetmacher is a very disreputable Blutbaden family, rather than a mysterious evil type of Wesen). While Adolph Hilter left no descendants, the name of Hitler did continue on. The half brother of Adolph's father, Alois Hilter had a son, Adolph's "loathesome newphew" who came to the United States in 1938 as William Patrick Hitler tried to join the US army and was turned down. The family eventually changed it's last name. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/24/nyregion/24patchogue.html?pagewanted=all

I suppose there are other distant relatives of the Hitler family, with or without the Hitler last name  in Germany or Austria today. Adolph didn't spring from the head of Zeus.

And I'm never clear on that interbreeding thing. Would Monroe and Rosalee's child be a blutbad or a Fuchsbaus? It's awfully hard to draw hard lines on species even now.
