Which I imagine Camilli shifted toward at the start of American involvement in WW2, due to the bad taste that 'Adolph' would leave in the mouths and minds of the American wartime public.

Yes, the name Adolf/Adolph fell out of favor quickly!

I worked with a guy born in the decades after WWII in Germany. The name Adolf became as unpopular in Germany as anywhere else in the world.

In fact, going back several generations this guy's father/ grandfather/ greatgrandfather, etc were all named Adolf.

His parents named him Ulf instead. It is a nordic/scanandavian version of the German name.
