[xmasevebundle]

I had my 20w scan today and its a boy much to my delight!

What do you think and do you no any ralphs?

I also need a middle name - it wad Ralph leo but have gone off the name.

[Gumby]

Love Ralph
Don't know any dcs age

[Viviennemary]

I really like it. I've never known any Ralphs. Maybe that's why I like it.

[Happypiglet]

Iknow a 3 year old Ralph and he is routinely called Rafe by his family.

[BoysBoysBoysAndMe]

I loves Ralph when pg with ds1. Both dh and I loved it.

But everyone made fun if it. Lots of comments about it being the bit out of the Simpsons who picks his nose

We decided on Alfie in the end. But still love Ralph.

Congratulations on your boy. Boys are fab

[TiggerWearsATriteSmile]

Ralphie stop picking your nose.

Apologies, Simpsons have a lot to answer to.

[NettOlympicSuperstar]

Penis in Forever.
No.

[LauraPalmer]

Assuming you'd pronounce it 'Rafe' - yes, love it.

[AndWhenYouGetThere]

I know a 3 year old Ralph - "Ralf-ie" mostly. Very cute (the name and the child).

[xmasevebundle]

No it would be Ral-ph.

I never thought of simpsons

[BellaOfTheBalls]

I grew up with a Ralph who would be in his early thirties now.

It's a nice name however as someone has mentioned there is a Judy Blume book called Forever and the guy in it calls his penis Ralph. I wouldn't have thought of The Simpsons but now you come to mention it....

[karatekimmi]

It will always be the name of the penis in Judy Blume's book forever. Sorry.

[JollyHockeyStick]

I love it :)

[emmyloo2]

Not a fan I am afraid. I also think of the penis in Forever but also don't really like it as a name in any event.

Do you ahve any other choices?

[DiscoDomina]

It is on my list but DH hates it- says it reminds him of a term of reference for vomit, along with Hugh and Barth!

[BobbiFleckman]

another one who thinks of Judy Blume immediately

[DiscoDomina]

It is on my list but DH hates it- says it reminds him of a term of reference for vomit, along with Hugh and Barth!

[seeker]

Just Blume and vomit sound for me- I'm really sorry, but you did ask!

And Ralph-pronounced-Rafe is a bit....I don't know... trying to be posh?


How about Rufus?

[xmasevebundle]

I dont no who Judy blume is im 19.

No rafe and ralph are two different name.

I dont like rafe.

I did have stanley but i didnt want that to be shortened to stan.

[seeker]

So do I everlong- I was thinking of a similar sort of name without the other connotations!

[TheonlyWayisGerard]

Not good. Slang for 'to be sick'. Unless its pronounced Rafe I guess. Just don't team it with the middle name Scoop, like someone I know of

[Ephiny]

I wouldn't, I immediately think of the Judy Blume book and memories of passing it around and sniggering at school. Maybe that's just my generation though!

I like the 'Rafe' pronunciation, but don't like the look of 'Ralph' written down.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Ralph is a PENIS! HAHAAHAHA!

[Ephiny]

Leo is lovely though.
