MN for Rafferty?

imperioustigerlily · October 28, 2012, 5:16am

I [name]ADORE[/name] [name]Rafferty[/name], but every time I see it in a post, it’s paired with a boring, plain middle name. I know it’s a bit of a “different” name, but why does that mean it can only have a middle name like [name]James[/name] (not that I have a problem with [name]James[/name], I actually really like it.)? Can you guys help me come up with some combos for [name]Rafferty[/name] will less boring/filler middle names? The only two I’ve thought of are [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] (I’m not really a fan of [name]Quinn[/name] though) and [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] (but [name]Beckett[/name] is a bit too trendy for me).

I grew up in [name]Ireland[/name] with a kid called [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Scott[/name] [name]McGuire[/name] (Ma-g-wire) so I just love [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Scott[/name].

I like [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Oscar[/name] (my boyfriend loved [name]Oscar[/name], but I couldn’t see myself using it as a first name) and [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Jude[/name]. I think the more I say [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Quinn[/name], the more I like it

Yerp. I’ve seen the Irish pronunciation spelt both ways so I just wrote it the way I prefer it.
