Raphaela/Rafaela

I stumbled across this name today and I wondering what everyone thinks about it. Is it too much? I like names in the exotic traditional and vintage categories. I don’t mind rare names, but I don’t want something too “out there” I’d also like to know if the name is too closely tied with Latino families? Would it look odd since we are not Latino?

I really don’t care for a nn “Raffie” or “[name]Rae[/name]” – I do like [name]Fae[/name] ([name]Fay[/name]) though. That name has a special meaning for us. I couldn’t really find any names to get me to a nn [name]Fae[/name], so I might be stretching for it here.

As some know, I am pregnant with twin girls. Twin A is [name]Irena[/name]. Twin B’s name is still in the works!

i went to school with a [name]Raphaela[/name]… i always loved her name!
she mostly went by elle or ella
i think its a great name!

oh… and she wasn’t latino :slight_smile:
