.... Not sure about which is the best pronounciation for one!

We already have a DD, Matilda.

The twins are DCDA, so could be any combo, and we don't know the sexes. We have decided on:

Hugo
Ralph
Valentina
Isabel

So... Ralph. Can be "Ralf" or "Rayfe". Both valid and normal I believe. We like both! Which do you automatically think when you see the name?

Thanks

Yes Rafe is lovely and love all other names too.

Ralph is another word to say vomit where I grew up

I think if you want it to be pronounced Rafe you'd have to spell it like that. Ralph is 'Ralf'.

Ralph is pronounced "ralf". Rafe is much nicer.

My BIL is called "Rayfe" and it is spelt Rafe. I would presume Ralph is pronounced "Ralf" although I know it could be either. Good luck with the twins, I have b/g twins, they are fab.

Rafe sounds much nicer.

I would think it was pronounced 'Ralph', but prefer 'Rafe'. helpful
