[Opinions] Re: Adolphus
in reply to a message by Ozma
Oh, wow. Adolphus.
I fell in love with it while watching an old movie version of the George Bernard Shaw play, "Major Barbara." A very young Rex Harrison was playing the male lead, Adolphus. His nn was Dolly. Too cute.
I don't suggest it because (a) I didn't think anyone else would like it and (b) it's got Adolph in there. Adolph, as much as I love it as a name, it now taboo. :-( So the question in my mind becomes: is Adolphus far enough removed from Adolph? I go back and forth.
I placate myself with Alphonsus, but I really do miss Adolphus.
Combos? Wow. That's hard. How about:
Adolphus Menjou (just kidding)
Adolphus Henry
Adolphus Leopold
Adolphus Noel
Adolphus Hector
Adolphus Max
Adolphus Kim
Adolphus Kit
Adolphus Eugene
Adolphus Prosper
Adolphus Benedict
Adolphus Oberon
Adolphus Constantine
Adolphus Melchior
Adolphus Theodore / Theo
Adolphus Remy
Adolphus Wilkie
Adolphus Cuthbert
Adolphus Bede
Adolphus Rupert
Adolphus Michael
:-)
