Could [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] be used for someone who is not Hispanic?

If you want it to seem “less Hispanic” you could use the [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] spelling. I’m pretty sure he’s a character in the bible too, which makes the name pretty international (not just if you’re a [name_m]Christian[/name_m], in general).

Yeah, he’s in the bible and torah, so it is pretty international. If you don’t want people to think hispanic, go with [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]

I think so, though as pps suggested the [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] spelling feels more universal
