No one in France will call their son Adolphe: it's way too old-fashioned and reminds people of Adolph Hitler, unfortunately.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) was a French academic painter.

France was so decimated by the Third Reich and its genocidal war on their soil that no self-respecting Frenchman would find Adolphe to be an acceptable name to give a child. Maybe that will change in a few hundred years, but not today.
