Currently 39+ 4 and still have no names. We don't know what we are having, currently have 2 boys. We think we have a girls name but what do you think of the name Rafe-as in Fiennes or Spall?
Immediately I think it might be a bit pretentious, but the more I say it.......

I love it such a good name and very underused

It's gorgeous.

yes Ralph is pron. Rafe by 'posh' people.
would spell it Rafe to avoid confusion.

I like it. Are you planning to spell it Rafe? One potentially confusing factor is that some Ralphs pronounce their name Rafe eg Ralph Fiennes. (Though a colleague of mine met him years ago, and swears he introduced himself as Ralph (pronounced as spelled), not Rafe...)
