[name_u]Rocco[/name_u] was on my list but my husband vetoed it! But also I think his moms deceased cats name was [name_u]Rocco[/name_u] and that might be a contributor Haha
[name_u]Rex[/name_u], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]. Wow… Great mix.
I love [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] and [name_m]Harold[/name_m] with these. [name_u]Ari[/name_u] and Raphael/Rafael are lovely names, and I’m not a matching sibset cannister set person, but they seem odd man out in this retro list.
[name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_m]Simon[/name_m], [name_u]Harry[/name_u], and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] would be delightful) are so so great
Ari-That’s my sweet little kitty’s name, so obviously I love it. It’s just charming & happy & cuddly.
[name_m]Rafael[/name_m] or Raphael-Rafael is gorgeous. But in a very manly way! I’m always annoyed by the fact that I can’t figure out exactly how to pronounce it though. I do prefer the ‘f’ spelling; seems sleeker.
Rafe-I love [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] w/your crew, & I actually do prefer just [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] w/Rex, [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] & [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]. That being said, I usually like [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] best as a nn for [name_m]Rafael[/name_m]. And since you love both names, that seems like a winner!
Arthur-Super cute, but getting a bit popular. Still a great name. It’s a bit quiet next to your kids’ spunkier names, but certainly not a deal breaker.
Archibald-I don’t mind Archer/Archie, but the ‘bald’ part never sounds nice to me.
Simon-I like it. It doesn’t sparkle, but a cute name.
Harry-Same as above. I do prefer this one as a nn for [name_u]Henry[/name_u] or [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is so over done.
Harold-Oh, there you go! [name_m]Harold[/name_m] nn [name_u]Harry[/name_u] gets you two of your favorites.
Harris-Or this! I like this slightly more than [name_m]Harold[/name_m].
