It carries an awful amount of baggage that name, and i am not sure your daughter/son would want to have to carry that with them - are you aware of the name change from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe and all that it entailed .... the name carries a history .... i would step away ....

Cecily would be better.

Adolph's not so feminine though. If I was going down that route, I'd use Adolpha or Aldolphia.

skihorse · 15/12/2009 15:52

No, it's a bit "loaded". How about Adolf instead?

turkeydrumstix · 15/12/2009 15:52

Um, you should probably do some research on Cecil Rhodes before you decide to inflict that on your daughter!

DiamondHead · 15/12/2009 15:51

Is this after Cecil Rhodes
