If I like Raphael, what else might I like?

Raphael (Rafe) is now the only name I think I like for little boy due next year. I'm slightly worried it's a bit OTT with our surname - one syllable very British surname.

But I love its angelic, European and arty connotations, and I love the nickname options - Rafe, Raffy etc.

Are there any other boy names that spring to mind? I find boy names impossible!

Rafe.
Pronounced like "Safe' but starting with "R' ofcourse.

And personally I think if your child's surname is going to be a plain one syllable British one, then he deserves a fancier first name.

Raphael Brown is much better than George Brown,

Michelangelo?
Leonard?
Donatello?
