Rudolf

What do you associate with the name "Rudolf"?

As usual, I am not asking about any actual child. Just curious about how many people are going to give me a certain answer.

The red-nosed reindeer. I know it's spelled differently, but out loud, they're the same.

[inmeggsyoutrust.livejournal.com]

This even with the different spelling

Yep, me too.

[jesuslovesbono.livejournal.com]

was my first thought.

[carafbaby.livejournal.com]

Rudolf the red nosed reindeer... thats what I think of.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

When I see that spelling, my first thoughts do not go to the flying Christmas mammal, lol. I think of someone with German heritage, and perhaps some affluence. It seems very old-fashioned.

[forthemorrow.livejournal.com]

Yup! Same.

Reindeer.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

- The red-nosed reindeer
- My husband's previous boss, named Rodolphe
- The name Adolf (just because of spelling) which goes to say...

[jexia]

Yeah, Adolf, too.

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

Adolf for me too.

The Reindeer. Followed by Rudolf Hess.

[pleasure-past.livejournal.com]

Rudolf Hess.

This was actually the answer I was looking for. Congrats on being the only one to mention it, lol. (Don't get me wrong, I knew I was going to get "reindeer" from virtually everyone, I was just wondering how many people would also bring up him.)

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

I think given that he was never the most prominent person from that era *and* how long he's been dead it's not surprising not many people think of him. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people didn't even know who he was.

That said it came to mind instantly for me and I'm quite irritated with myself that Valentino didn't spring to mind at all!

the red nosed reindeer. or a very old man in a smoking jacket, puffing on a pipe next to a fire. And 'rudolph' also makes me think of "adolph" which isn't awesome.

Two at the same time: The reindeer and Rudolf Nureyev.

[coendou.livejournal.com]

Rudolf Steiner, turn of the century Austrian philosopher and founder of anthroposophy.

Jk, red-nosed reindeer.

[ealexsism.livejournal.com]

lol reigndeer :)

sry don't know how to spell it

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Reindeer, absolutely.

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

A kid who I worked with for a while who had a stutter.

Then the reindeer.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna go with what everyone else said - the reindeer.

[theljfromheck.livejournal.com]

My grandpa, uncle and nephew. Also the reindeer.

[istytehcrawk.livejournal.com]

Definitely reindeer. Rudy Giuliani. Adolf to a lesser extent, as someone said above.

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

The reindeer. Then, I think because of the spelling, Gandalf.

[queer-kitten.livejournal.com]

This

[starcrossed.livejournal.com]

Valentino is the first thing that came to mind

[pixie-bones.livejournal.com]

The reindeer.
The spelling makes me think German...and the name Adolf... >_>

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

... the red-nosed reindeer.

[jintana.livejournal.com]

Christmas or old German guy.
