We're due in 3 weeks and cannot decide on a name.
Which do you prefer, or would you suggest something else?

Rafe is too close to rape for me.
Have you got any others?

I immediately thought of rape when I saw Rafe too.

Sorry OP, not one of the three

You may not want to consider my suggestions#
Dakota
Casper
or
Seb

Whatever name you guys choose, it will be befitting for your DS.

If a name screams...... "I AM MIDDLE CLASS AND COME FROM NORTH LONDON" it is a silly name. 🤣🤣🤣

None of the above...... Don't be one of those parents that saddle their child with a silly name. If it reeks of being middle class it's a no no. They are the ones that will bare the brunt of it when they go to school. Go for something normal. Jack, Dylan, Daniel, Max etc etc.....

I really don't think they are 'silly' names. I wouldn't consider them all that unusual, but thanks for your suggestions

Rafe is great, absolutely do not hear rape.
Rafferty, Raphael, Sebastian, Jonas?

This was DH's concern too, I don't see/hear it though.

Nope, we're really struggling!
