Yes, the name Adolf/Adolph fell out of favor quickly!

I worked with a guy born in the decades after WWII in Germany. The name Adolf became as unpopular in Germany as anywhere else in the world.

In fact, going back several generations this guy's father/ grandfather/ greatgrandfather, etc were all named Adolf.

His parents named him Ulf instead. It is a nordic/scanandavian version of the German name.
