So we should be calling it the Nazi Republican party then?

No, because they aren't the German national socialist party. The Italian fascists weren't called Nazi's as far as I know, they were just fascists. Which in and of itself is bad.
It's good to draw parallels with history, but you shouldn't fall into the trap of equating it too much, that just gives them too many easy ways of going "but we don't have a Reichstag to burn down" or other dumb excuses.
You can call them fascist fucks though, because that's accurate 🤷🏼‍♂️

We call Nutella Nutella even though it may be a different brand. But it is still brown and not healthy.

In Dutch we call all of that "Chocolade pasta" or "pasta" (which can get confusing tbh), but I see your point.
Sometimes branding is too good to ignore (and you have to admit those Nazi bastards were good at branding)
