I don't see a reason why the name "Adolf" would incite hysteria. It became largely unpopular, that's true, but I don't think that it causes offense or should be a taboo.
I dont know anyone named "Judas". Some names became *really* unpopular.
Among Christians, certainly. On the other hand, it is also the name of Judas Maccabeus , one of the great warriors of Jewish History, and so, I suspect, far less unpopular among Jews.
Uh, that guy lived ~175 years before the name Judas became infamous.
