I was thinking Raphael/Rafael but see a few people mentioned it. I wish I could use it but it sounds a bit silly with a Scottish surname and no connection to cultures where it’s used.

I dated a Heathcliff.

I have always loved the name Beau. For some reason, I think Jesse has a romantic-ish feel to it. No idea why!

chipsandgin · 09/02/2021 21:00

In real life I could only see Beau working, Keefe sounds like queef...(just, no!) & yep, also how I’d imagine Keith is addressed by cockney geezers?

Rafferty, and I love Beau too.

Tristan, Dylan, Emrys, Owen, Macsen (a lot of Welsh names!), Laurence, Sebastian, Maxim, Rowan, River, Heath, Leal and Leith have a romantic/poetic feel to me.

Keefe's a bit of an outlier there, OP!

Mine are Heath and Sacha.
