You currently have Ludolf listed as being archaic in Germany, i.e. it is no longer in use. That is incorrect: you can still find living German bearers on Facebook and LinkedIn, so the name is just rare instead of archaic: [noted -ed]https://de.linkedin.com/pub/dir/Ludolf/+/de-0-Duitsland (lists only bearers living in Germany)

It is rare, but it seems to be a bit more common there than in Germany:https://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/Ludolf (in Dutch; shows the prevalence of the name in the Netherlands in 2014)
