Raphaella spelling

DH has chosen our boy's name if DC is a boy (due Aug/Sep). The girl's name is up to me, and I really love Raphaella.

The question is, how to spell it.

Raphaella
Raphaela
Rafaella
Rafaela

DH is Israeli, and I think the most common 'Hebrew' spelling in English would be Raphaela. But does that look strange?

The more I look at the spellings, the more they ALL look strange!

Help!

Rafaela is amazing

I think Raphaella looks over complicated, all the others look fine. I would probably go with Rafaella
