This doesn't change the fact that the person that committed one of the worst genocides in history was given this name. As France was an allied country that also wouldn't work.

"Adolphe: a Story Found Among the Papers of an Unknown Writer" is the title of a French novel written in 1816 by Benjamin Constant. It follows the story of the titular character, a kind of sad 22-year-old who falls in love with an older woman named Ellénore. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 2002. The book is thought to be semi-autobiographical.

OK, here's the problem:
Any form of Adalwolf, ie Adolf, Adolph, and this name, will be associated with the National Socialist Party leader Adolf Hitler.
As I have said in the Adolf comment section, any form of the name should be pronounced differently or be abandoned for a permanent nickname. I knew an Adolphe once (who pronounced it ayDOHLF in formal company and bore the nickname Addy among the students). But its spelling is the clincher for the immature igronamii of the bunch.

France was so decimated by the Third Reich and its genocidal war on their soil that no self-respecting Frenchman would find Adolphe to be an acceptable name to give a child. Maybe that will change in a few hundred years, but not today.

No one in France will call their son Adolphe: it's way too old-fashioned and reminds people of Adolph Hitler, unfortunately.
