I know it's been six years, but a reminder that Hitler was a monster, and that antisemites should have no place here, or anywhere else. This name is lovely, but certain people using it as a way of glorifying a past that did not exist, and figures that committed heinous acts beyond comprehension, is absolutely despicable. People should be ashamed to say things like that.

I love this name, and I don't think it or its shortened form Adolf deserve to go out of use just because of one man. People can be silly sometimes.
A noble old Germanic pagan name, such Germanic names such as Adalwolf, Siegfried, Eric, Ulrich, Wolfgang, Frederick, Ludwig, Ingrid, Åsa... Are amazing and ancient names and a great choice for people of European ethnic/cultural stock to revive the native old European culture (mostly pre-christianity). It is an older and more charming version of the more modern and common name, which I far prefer over the more simplicized Adolf, the legendary German popular hero Adolf Hitler was a bearer of this great name.
This is a lovely alternative to the tainted Adolf, if you want to name your child after a grandfather or some other older relative who was born before the name had such an evil association.
