I love short charming names that have a longer, poetic, regal version- for instance I love Theodore/Theo and Amandine/Ami for a girl. I adore the nickname Rafa, but I wish there was a longer version of it (besides the obvious Rafael/Rafaelle) that worked. Do you think Rafiki might work? Is there another long, poetic, regal name that could possibly be shortened to Rafa? It doesn’t need to have all the letters of “Rafa” or even begin with an R.
