Thanks a bunch, Satu! This also helps me a lot! :-D
I'm surprised to see that Adelheid & Helga aren't listed as a popular name for the girls, and for the boys I'm kinda surprised that Ottokar isn't listed. But I guess that Ottokar (like other names as Adelmar, Adelbrand, Wolfram, etc.) was probably much more common in the centuries before the 17th century.
Question: I saw that Adolf was listed as a popular name in 1900. But I thought that name never really was popular, even before Adolf Hitler? Ofcourse, after Adolf Hitler, the use of Adolf must've lessened quite significantly, which is a pity really (I think it's a beautiful name, and names shouldn't be judged by persons had borne those names). It's like people think: "Those people named their son Adolf, so they must be supporting Hitler." Ridiculous! >:-(
Anyway, I'm wondering: did the name Adolf still get used in Germany after WWII? And what about nowadays? Does it still (rarely) get used?
Anyway - thanks again for your help! :)
Hugs,
Lucille
