Please help me narrow down this list of middles for Raphael. Last name is a three syllable Italian name. We like unexpected middles (brothers’ middles are Stavros and Fiorello):
Raphael Calixto
Raphael Alessandre
Raphael Oisin
Raphael Zephyr
Raphael Alexander (Not so unexpected, but we like it a lot)
Raphael Tristan
Raphael Ettore
Raphael Nikola
Raphael Alessio
I think [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Alessio[/name_m] is sooooo dreamy! Esp with brother’s middles. I love your naming style!
Thank you! [name_m]Alessio[/name_m] was a contender for our second son’s first name and we still really like it!
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] Alessandre
And
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_u]Nikola[/name_u]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Oisín[/name_m] is super cool and unexpected!
I’m seconding the love for [name_m]Oisin[/name_m]. It sounds SO GOOD after [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think we can get away with nickname [name_u]Rio[/name_u] if we go with [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m]? The letters are there but my husband thinks it’s too much of a stretch.
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] is beautiful 
i love [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Oisin[/name_m] too!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites with [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] are [name_m]Calixto[/name_m] and [name_m]Alessio[/name_m]! I also agree that [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] sounds brilliant.
Yes, I think so! I even think [name_u]Rio[/name_u] works as a nickname for [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] by itself, even without “Oisin.” So with it, it just reinforces it as an amazing nickname!
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] is so nice.

We’ve got [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] on our list too, paired potentially with [name_m]Keir[/name_m] or [name_u]Quincy[/name_u].
I love [name_m]Alessio[/name_m] most with your sons’ middles, but [name_m]Ettore[/name_m] is really great, too!
