I guess it depends on the name - I personally wouldn't use Adolf though. My name is Jody, which everyone used to say was after Jodie Foster, but my mum can't STAND her, which is why I have the different spelling.

I would love to call our future daughter Myffanwe, as DH's family is Welsh - but the only time I've ever heard it used is on Little Britain. I have friends who would giggle every time they heard it, because of the character, but I love the name so much that I don't care what anyone thinks, KWIM?

Hope my ramblings have made some kind of sense
