DC1 due in 4 weeks please help!

I've read the archives and the consensus on Ralph seems to be A) Judy Blume, or B) in some places means to be sick. I could live with either of these as I like the name and they are time/slang dependant.

I really like the name though Dh isn't keen. Please can you help by telling me what you think/what stereotypes you think when you hear the name, apart from the above. And whether you like it or not, or any views other than Judy Blume/vomit. (God that sounds bad!)

TIA

They probably don't even read Judy Blume at school anymore, but you WILL have to put up with the smirks of mothers.

Sorry.

Feel really bad now.... if you like the name, go for it! please don't let the thoughts of a random stranger put you off in any way at all.

I know someone with a little DS named Ralph (her DH pressured her into using the name) and it is a standing joke amongst her friends (again, sorry but you did ask)

Oh, and , do you know any Ralphs? If so, what kind of child/what age are they?

Sorry I can't get beyond the Judy Blume connection....but if I try, I have to be honest and say it is a hideous name whatever way you look at it (very sorry but you did ask)
