Baby arriving in 8 weeks, still haven't settled on a name. Came across this one and found it interesting. What do you think of it? Thanks

I like the spelling Rafaela, the other ways are too fussy.

It's not awful but it does sound like a boy's name that's been forced into a girl version, like Thomasina or Benjamina.

I love Rafaella, really pretty name Raffi as an abbreviation.
