No. Unfortunately, that name will carry a cloud for a long long time.

Well no, for one some discrimination would exist. I'd rather name my son (assuming a son here from your question) something reasonably simple that won't be masscred by his teacher on the first day of school, but something a bit unique too.
Secondly, I wouldn't do it for the principle of the matter. A name is the identity of a person, it IS a person. So I won't give the principle away, my son's entire identity that he will carry for the rest of your life, for money (especially such a small sum lol)

Even for nothing. I like the name. This name was given to a baby boy born in Braunau, Austria, on 20th April 1989 by parents with surnames of Schicklgruber and Hiedler. The boy did not choose his christian name himself (which child does?) but did later adopt the surname Hiedler and changed it into Hitler.
Now, THAT would be different. And there is someone who has named his two boys Adolf and Benito ! And THAT is different too.
.......unbelievable how biased one can allow oneself to get - Roiben even 'thinks' Adolf is a bad name in itself. Or is she a linguistic punster seeing connections with the 'big bad wolf'?

No. I feel like i would be selling my son out, at birth, for a measly $1000.
At our school, we have a couple boys names Adolfo (their families speak Spanish). It perplexes the teachers. Why would you name your child that? It just reminds us of Hitler. Some names will always have the connotations of the person who made them famous.

I wouldn't name a child for money. Though a company named 'Enron' once offered me a large some of $ to name a child after the company. But the check didn't clear so I didn't do it.

Not really. I mean, there are places where Adolf is a common name. It just sounds really horrible to me. And not just because of WW2. I mean it's just seems like a bad name. It'd be like naming a girl Adam. Just....dumb.

No.
I don't care for the name, and the connotations that come alongside it would mean you are asking me to 'condemn a human being to discrimination and isolation for his whole life, and creating a rumour that you may be a Nazi-parent for $1,000"

Not even for $2,000. My poor grandfather had that name (it was a popular name in the Austro-Hungarian Empire) but luckily everyone found it in their heart to not rub it in and He was affectionately referred to as Dolph.
