What do you think of the name "Rafe" for a boy?
By lk4107 1 Year, 7 Months Ago
Just wondering what people's opinion is of this boy's name? It's actually traditionally spelt "Ralph" (old English) and pronounced "Rafe" as in the actor Ralph Fiennes. But I don't mind it actually spelt how it's pronounced. Opinions please?!

Its ok - but sounds like it may be missing something? also i am wondering if he would be mistakenly be called RAY-F.

What do you think of Rafferty? Nicknamed Raffe? (Raff-ee)

I love this name!

Rafferty is such a cool name and i think rafe is a nice nn too. its not very common but its not crazily unique, the perfect balance

I love that you're pronouncing Ralph it's original way Although I have to admit that I don't like it, I'm glad to see that it's still around.

I'd prefer Rafe as a nickname for Rafael or Raphael. Rafe looks and sounds like a really bad word to me, and I know many other people I know have said that as well.. so I don't like it as a stand alone name at all. I'd give him a longer option, like Rafael/Raphael or something, so that he has other options, should he choose to use them
