in 2045 it will be 100 years since this dude died. do you think people will start naming there kids Adolf again after that? it is a pretty rad name actually. if u named ur kid Adolf u can nickname him Adog or something cool. would Ad be for Adolf the same shortname as Al is for Alex? so many opportunities with this name really it is a shame it has been unofficially discontinued

Sweden has had several kings named Gustaf Adolf.
And they have squares named and other places named after them all over Sweden. Adolfsson is still a common surname.
When I hear the name "Adolf" I think of the square in my town, not Hitler.

The fall in popularity of Adolf wasn't only due to Hitler.
It's simply an "old people's name", like Stig, Sven, Einar or Nils.
