What do you think? Gorgeous boy of my cousin who can't totally decide.

I know a little Ralph. It suits him. Initially I though 'wiggum' but you can say that for so many names, it's about making it your own. I certainly don't think that whenever I see this little boy.

I wanted a Ralph but dp vetoed on the basis of Wiggum.

Maybe not Raphael then! I don't mind Ralph, I just can't manage to get past The Simpsons.

I've seen others mention Rafe on here, but 1) Still not sure how to pronounce that, and 2) It looks like a typo for "rape", which is very grim.

If she likes Ralph, she should go with that. Smile

Raphael is incredibly popular were we live. In every cafe it's "Raffy eat your avocado"

It's not bad, but I will always picture Ralph Wiggum in my mind when I hear it.

Raphael is nicer, IMO.
