Wikipedia explains: “the Spanish and Portuguese version, Adolfo , has not become stigmatized in the same way. It is still in common use in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries across the world.”
I had forgotten the Asian trend where Hitler is regarded as hip. Hard for me to understand. I am flabbergasted.
Hitler was also considered a hip name in black townships in South Africa at one time.
See the incident in Trevor Noah’s autobiography Born a Crime, where a township music/dance group he was involved with was invited to a ‘cultural day’ at an upmarket Jewish school, and a guy called Hitler was the star dancer… 
I have a Swiss coworker who is named Adolf, and goes by Dolf. Why is someone in their 40s/50s named Adolf? Because his father was Adolf and his father was named Adolf, etc.
I graduated high school in 1988. I never use 88 for anything, even though it is also the magic speed in Back to the Future.
I seem to recall a news story some years back about a neo-Nazi couple in New Jersey who named their kid Adolf Hitler, and how there was a big kerfuffle when they tried to get a birthday cake with his name on it.
My God - The Producers was right! He was a terrific dancer!
I remember seeing ads for this product years ago - it still exists with its original name. (there were some bad high school kids’ jokes that went along with it):
For what it’s worth, I’m seeing significantly different graphs for “Adolph” and “Adolf” (and a spike in popularity for “Adolfo”).
Now now, Ye of little faith in your fellow man! They could have been racist shitstains even at age 16 and asked for number 88 on their jersey. Then they’d be telling the truth later. 
Either that or, just like here in the USA, in India there are batshit insane people who change their name to something eye-catching then run for office as no-hopers.
I’d forgotten about Adolph’s meat tenderizer, but it’s been a mainstream product my entire life. It’s a good bet that’s the only national brand name in the USA using Adolf/ph.
My Dad has an old college body called Adolph, or Dolph for short. Born in 1948 and yes, Jewish. From what I understand, his mother was a real piece of work, which may help explain the name.
He’s a psychiatrist from Seattle and was, in point of fact, the inspiration for the character of Frasier Crane from Cheers and Frasier, but that’s a different story.
India and Hitler go 'way back.
There’s some discussion of that case here.
My brother-in-law is Swiss. His father’s name is Adolph. According to my BIL, Adolph was an old family name, but he’s the last Adolph in their family, and moreover he’s gone by “Adi” since he was a small child, to the point where even close friends and family are only vaguely aware that “Adi” isn’t the name on his birth certificate. I’m not sure how old he is, but I think he was born, and named, while the Other Adolph was still alive.
The founder of Adidas was a German man named Adolf Dassler (born in 1900); he, too, went by the nickname Adi, and the company name (adopted in 1949) is a contraction of “Adi Dassler.”
True, I’ve never met a Pontius Pilate, but people still do his exercises to this day!
In Norway the name was already at the very bottom of a 60 year decline. https://www.ssb.no/a/navn/guttermange/adolf.png
There is currently 84 Norwegian men whose first name is Adolf, 32 of whom don’t have a middle name. I suspect the median age of them is 80 something.
I’ve never met an Adolf in Germany in person, and the only prominent examples I remember are a late sportscaster named Adolf Furler (born in, well, 1933), who always went by “Addi”, and Adolf Hütter (born 1970), an Austrian soccer coach who exclusively goes by “Adi”. Adolf just doesn’t fly anymore in Germany since 1945.
There was also the KFC rip off in Thailand, HFC.
I’m pretty sure Coors was using “Adolph Coors” in some commercials, which might help to soften it.
In the case of Spain, there was Adolfo Suárez. As he was the Prime Minister who oversaw the transition from fascism to democracy, he was sort-of the opposite of Hitler.
I believe the coors family is up to 4 named Adolph. iv became a born again Christian.
I through III were all born long before the name Adolph became notorious; Adolph Coors III was born in 1915. His son, Adolph Coors IV, appears to have been born around 1946, so the family was clearly very dedicated to passing on the family name, given that timing.
It does appear that he continued the tradition, as this site indicates that one of his two sons is Adolph Coors V.
