Which Ralph is the best Ralph?

Which combo below do you like most? Why?

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Walter[/name]

Thanks!

[name]Ralph[/name] hugo sounds like a combo of ralph lauren and hugo boss (love both names just not together)! Thats the only name combo id stay clear of.

Please leave [name]Ralph[/name] in the cupboard I think it is extremely dated. It is my brother’s name and I always felt sorry that he ended up with the name [name]Ralph[/name].

I think [name]Raphael[/name] nn [name]Rafe[/name]/[name]Rafa[/name] has much more style.

I like all of your middle names more than I like [name]Ralph[/name], sorry. I would switch them around and do [name]Henry[/name] [name]Ralph[/name] or [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Ralph[/name].

I like [name]Shepherd[/name]. It freshens [name]Ralph[/name] up a bit and makes it seem cool. Pairing with something in the same style family like Higo makes it look double-fusty, but paired with a modern name I-- and the public-- can appreciate it more.

That is a very good point. [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Boss[/name] wasn’t a thought, but I can definitely see the connection now.

Thanks!

But he’s so lonely in there! I love the idea that [name]Ralph[/name]‘s dated and just doesn’t seem as lovable as many other boy’s names but he’s soft-spoken and kinda’ cuddly.

You have a good point. [name]Ralph[/name] would probably be better recieved in the middle, but then I feel like I’m ashamed of him and am hiding him away. Know what I mean?

I personally like [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Henry[/name] because both names have the same style.

I love [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Corbin[/name]! [name]Corbin[/name] was my grandfather’s middle name. My only problem is that my brother also has it as a middle name. His daughter has an honoring name so I figured I’d stay clear of that one in case he ever has a boy and wants to use it.

I also like a few of those names, and I had actually removed [name]Winston[/name] and [name]Wallace[/name] from my list. Remembered that Winstons are cigarettes and [name]Wallace[/name] was a greedy neighbor of mine.

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

That photo of Design Mom’s [name]Ralph[/name] perfectly fits my idea of a [name]Ralph[/name] – quirky and fun. Plus, that car is the same color as one of the color chips on my boy’s name inspiration board. I take it as a sign. :slight_smile:

Wow. She has a [name]Maude[/name] too. It’s tied with [name]May[/name] as my number one girl’s name. I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind when I think of names. She has exceptionally well named children. Not all my style, but lovely.

I love your threads. Such great inspiration there.

Thank you!

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]! [name]Ralph[/name] is such a great name. It reminds me of [name]Ralphie[/name] from A [name]Christmas[/name] [name]Story[/name]! Nostalgia :slight_smile:

I like [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]. It sounds like more fun than some of the other combos. I also really like [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Mack[/name] or [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Gage[/name]. I like the abrupt sound for some reason.

You all have been such great help, and have given me a lot to think about.

So, I did a bit of thinking and came up with a few more combos. I’ll list all my Ralphs below.

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Rigby[/name] - My current favorite
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Roscoe[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]

What do you think?

[name]Lori[/name], I don’t know what I’d do without ya’.

Thanks!

I really like [name]Ralph[/name]. I know a [name]Chuck[/name] (same feel to me as [name]Ralph[/name]) and he makes his name work. Also, more babies are being name [name]Rufus[/name], which I think is even more clunky than [name]Ralph[/name]. I think [name]Ralph[/name] will be ok because his friends will probably have names like [name]Dexter[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Barnaby[/name], and [name]Felix[/name] (I love all of these btw!).

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] - I love this combo.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name] - I really like this one too. Great combo.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Henry[/name] - This is probably my favorite from your list. It’s hard because I like [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name] a lot too.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] - There is something very cool about this combo. [name]Shepherd[/name] is a favorite of mine.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Walter[/name] - This is probably my least favorite from your list. I’m not liking the names together.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Rigby[/name] - I love the double ‘R’. Cool name.
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Roscoe[/name] - Same as above with the double ‘R’ but [name]Ralph[/name] [name]Rigby[/name] flows just a little better.

Since I love the double ‘R’, can I suggest:

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Rocco[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Roland[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Ryland[/name]

[name]Ralph[/name] [name]Henry[/name] <3 So handsome! Ralph Maxwell comes in a close second.
