Baby boy rafe

Any day now and still no name!
Only really like rafe/raif/raef, what are people’s thought?

what about [name_m]Rafi[/name_m], [name_f]Rafa[/name_f], or [name_m]Rafael[/name_m]? I’m not sure how you’d pronounce [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]. What language is it?

There’s also:
[name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_u]Reeve[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u]

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u] is a great name! I wouldn’t hesitate. It’s often used as a nickname for [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] or [name_m]Ralph[/name_m], but it doesn’t seem like you would need to use a more formal name if you don’t want to. Congratulations on your new arrival.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I love [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]. It’s dashing, a little outdoorsy, kind of sounds like a baseball player. It sounds thoughtful & caring. It’s simple yet unique. I also like it as a nn for [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] or [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], but it’s nice on its own too.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

A few names that remind me of [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]:

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

We love the name and first heard it from pearl harbour and its uncommon in the uk which we like. Our other two have short names so would like to keep that going. [name_m]Just[/name_m] worried that its close to the word rape

Our other two children are [name_f]Alba[/name_f] and jude.

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u] is fantastic with [name_f]Alba[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] all three names.

I love [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] so much! It is so cute and I can picture a very cool, handsome baby, kid and eventually man!

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u] is a cool name. I would discard thoughts of other word names made up by changing letters. Different word altogether and many names can be made into something negative if we change the letters in them.

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u] is one of my favourite boys’ names. Cool, smart, understated. Stick with [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] spelling.

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u] is great, go for it! Especially if it’s the only one that draws you, sounds like the one.
