Rolf? Your thoughts ladies....

[AT1137]

not ROFL but Rolf! What do you think, hope you are not ROFL about it as I am serious....EEK!

Harris.

Also immediately thought Harris

Harris ROFL sorry

Um, it's the noise you make when you're being sick.

Sorry.

I know a baby Ralph which is nicer

Harris?

I always thought it was short for Rudolph, which is worse.

It would be a nice name if Mr Harris didn't exist, unfortuntely your son would have to put up with wobble board impressions, 'can you see what it is yet?' and Jake the Peg and digeridoo references for his whole life.

Ralph is nice

'Can you see what it is yet' Very funny!! I think that has convinced me that it's not a goer!! Ralph is a good alternative! Thank you all!!

My first thought was ROFL and then Harris, not a fan of the name sorry. What about Rafe?

Rafe is quite classy. Sorry to put a damper on it AT

Don't some people pronounce Ralph, rafe?

As in Ralph Fiennes

I know a German Rolf. Seems quite common there (e.g. Rolf Benz).

It's a marvellous name

oh please please no

Wasn't there a Rolf in the Sound of Music?

There's one in the Muppets.

I saw ROFL.

Think he will constantly be asked "Do you know what is it yet?".

Ralph is nice though.

Harris.

Like Ralph though (if pronounced Ralph not Rafe)

Rolf = Harris

Ralph = Wiggum (Miss Hoover, I ate the red crayon)

Both no in my book.

I thought Muppets before I thought Harris!

Ralph is good when pronounced Rafe. Not good when pronounced Ralph.

I love the name Rafe, and although it looks like a modern, bastardized spelling of Ralph, it has been around for centuries.

Rolf - Harris
Rolf - sneak in Sound of Music
Rolf - Muppet

However, I like it. But I have found that some people pronounce "Ralph" as "Rolf" so if you chose Ralph (pronounced that way and not "Rafe") you would still get the essential "Rolfishness" of Rolf in saying the name.

Sorry, dislike Rolf and ralph (malph), do like Rafe though.

What about Roald?

Rolf associations are probably from our generation, and not your childs, so don't worry about that too much. Mr Harris prob won't be a household name for your DS anymore!

Rolf=Harris, Muppets.
Rafe=ok, quite upper-class (Vaughan-Williams, Fiennes)
Ralph= the name of the boyfriend's penis in Forever. Forget it!
