[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! It’s a really beautiful name, classic and timeless but still fairly uncommon (in the UK and US, at least). Lots of great nicknames too.

[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is rugged and handsome. I like the nn [name_u]Rafa[/name_u] too.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! A classic that feels fresh and not overused. [name_m]Raff[/name_m] is a cute nickname on a toddler but feels cool on a teen. [name_m]Raff[/name_m] also gives the more impressive [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] a casual option.

Renaissance esque, Charming, artistic, intellectual, and worldly

It’s my name! It is a little funny to see so many describe it as “rugged” - I get it, but I am nowhere near that description myself. I just associate it with angels, art history, and healing (due to the meaning). And, of course, the ninja turtle (it gets brought up every single time).

I’ve never met anyone with this name, so to me it’s uncommon. It’s pretty cool, and i love the nickname [name_u]Rafa[/name_u]
