Ralph

[Tigandgab]

What do you think of when you hear the name Ralph? Was chatting with my partner today and i said that women of around my age (50) would probably answer with the name of a book. Just wondered if i was right!

It means to vomit in the USA

I’m 50 and don’t know what book you might mean.

I think Ralf Little

Forever!!

(44)

I don't know which book the OP is referring to either.

I've forgotten the name of the book but was written by Judy Blume. I'm 50 and my mum got cross when she found I had read it!!!

Judy Blume!

Pronounced as it’s spelled, the penis from Forever.

Pronounced Rafe, then Fiennes.

Forever!

Yep! Can never hear the name Ralph without thinking of Forever!

Lord of the Flies for me

Saw the title and knew exactly what it was about!

Wiggum.
Clearly uncultured.

Although I'm about to turn 40 rather than 50

I think of Judy Blume 'Forever' too. The guy calls his penis Ralph. I have no recollection of the characters names but I'll never forget Ralph!!

Lol I'd forgotten that, probably read it a little early! One of the girls in primary school came back from America with a copy and we all read it age eleven!

Katherine and Michael!

I read it early in secondary school (passed on by a friend) and my mum was furious. I don't know why - I actually think it's something every young person should be able to read, it taught me about respect in relationships.

(55) me either, I think of Ralf Little

I'm in Scotland and I think of this dog.

Ralph.. love it spelt that way.( Father Ralph de Bricassart in The Thorn birds )

Yip was just coming on to ask you to re think naming your child this in case that book makes a come back.

Forever! I'm almost a decade younger than you, vividly remember one girl at school in about year 6 had a copy and we all took it in turns to secretly borrow it.

I'm around OP's age and I've read Judy Blume but I don't remember Ralph the penis at all!

When I hear Ralph I think of Billy Connolly's sketch about chucking up, referencing Ralph and Huey 😄

I'm 54 and think of Ralph Malph from the TV show 'Happy Days'.
