Just curious which you prefer and why. For my son. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I don't like neither of them. Asa sounds like a made up name and Raphael..just not feeling the name.

Asa because I know an Asa and he is fab.

Raphael, it's a fantastic name. Quite strong and makes a strong full of character impression.

Raphael, because I have one.

Named for the archangel, although there is no accounting for other people's cultural references....

Asa is fine too though.

I prefer Raphael as I’m never sure how to pronounce Asa! Also like Raph as a shortening... I used to know a lovely Raphael, known as Raph .

Asa, because my most beautiful, clever and funny cousin is called Asa.

Raphael is a bit 'teenage mutant ninja turtle'.

Oh my goodness, I really love both. I think though as beautiful as Raphael is (and really it is, I begged DP to let us use it) I'd go with Asa. I've heard quite a few Raphael's recently and if popularity is something your concerned about?
Either way your son has a great name!
