Had already decided on Rafferty, now the middle name:

Blanchard

I'd be happy with a like/dislike vote but rationale would be good. Have had a friend say it sounds a bit 'Black' which I disregarded. Another said the rafferty part is like a dog's name.

I dreamed he was born last night, and he may well be in the next few weeks (possibly as little as 6 weeks away) so am panicking I have no idea what to name him.

Rafferty Blanchard

where do you live?

I mean America? well noone willl probably notice but UK? well it us unusual and I think that Rafferty is open to alot of teasing. But if you like then that is all that matters IMHO

Are you talking about a baby or a dog?

If just like/dislike then I would be in the dislike camp.

What are you looking for from the thread? Simply 'like' or 'don't like'?

I don't like it.

Well, he isn't born actually/obviously but he has survived a lot so far.

There must be a reason??

If it's a mum's maiden name type of thing then it's not too bad. If there is no reason then... well, if you've actually decided then... Yes, it's lovely.
