Rafe is nice and slightly unusual like your other two boys. Also like Raphael. You can't have something as plain as Peter with those sibling names.

I agree GLLU - I like Peter but I think that and Henry are too "normal" but I'm not a big fan of most of the others with your current boys names.

Piers would be better than Peter I think.

I guess because Franklin is always called Frank we thought it was a fairly normal name and went with Peter and Henry!

We do like strong sounding names and have always said that August can be Gus if he doesn't like Augie/August but he loves his name

It's Ralph. Pronunciation Rafe.

SchnitzelVonCrumb · 09/03/2017 03:20

Rafe is a name too - and less likely to be pronounced as Ralph

Well, I imagine Milo is a tasty drink...? ;)
But I just really like the name (but we unfortunately can't use it. I have cousins with the feminine and masculine version of this name already...)


I think Raffael or Gabriel would be really cool as well :)!

I'm not a fan of Ralph. Rafe is nice but I personally do prefer Raffael :)

I like Henry, Rafe and Cillian. I love the name Cillian and would have used it if we had a DS as we also have Gaelic names for DDs
