Most feedback I've heard from Germans regarding this name was negative. I did a little research on the name and it seems that in Germany the Detlef is considered a joke. Apparently the name Detlef is associated with gay stereotypes, in part due to its overuse in homophobic jokes during the 1970s (which is when the name seems to have fallen out of use). It's kinda surprising since it was a very popular name in the 1940s and 1950s.
