We love and adore the name [name]Raphael[/name]. It sounds really strong and we especially love it as [name]Raphael[/name] [name]North[/name].
We were talking to one of my best friends (and the only real life person we can discuss names with that wouldn’t shoot everything down that doesn’t rhyme with ‘aden’.) She recommended [name]Raferty[/name] because it might sound more appealing.
I do like it, and I like that it gets the nick name [name]Rafe[/name] much easier and straight forward than [name]Raphael[/name].
I am not sure if it is too surnamey to match with our other names.
[name]Peter[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Conrad[/name] and [name]Raphael[/name].
[name]Peter[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Conrad[/name] and [name]Raferty[/name].
We are open to all input!
I prefer [name]Peter[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], and [name]Raphael[/name] (amazing names btw). The sibset has a very [name]German[/name] vibe to me. [name]Raferty[/name] kinda throws that off. I dont think [name]Rafe[/name] is at all a stretch with [name]Raphael[/name] either.
I prefer [name]Rafael[/name]. I think it fits with your other names better and what a great namesake.
[name]Raphael[/name]!!! i also think it’s goes really well with your other children’s names. [name]Raferty[/name] i think sounds a bit cartoon character-ish
I agree with everyone else…[name]Raphael[/name] gets my vote!
Oh, I totally would go with [name]Rafferty[/name] nn [name]Rafe[/name]. [name]Raphael[/name] seems a little too angelic, too pretty, too… I dunno. [name]Rafferty[/name] is playful and compliments your other children’s names.
Good luck!
