Help[Facts] Rolf is not pronounced Ralph
The entry to that name say its pronounced Ralph but it couldn't be more wrong. It were to be pronounced that way, it would probably be spelled that way, no?
The name is not common in America, but in Germanic speaking countries it is. I am named after my grandfather and our name is pronounced just like all the other Rolfs (rhymes with golf for Americans, rhymes with Wulf for a more authentic Germanic pronunciation.)
I once had a high school teacher named Rolph (last name) and he would take points off if someone called him Ralph - I feel the same way - you ralph in a toilet, please don't associate that sound with me (no offense to any Ralphs out there).
