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!

Forever (I'm 50)

Ralph and Huey, chundering

Me too! I have a 7 year old Ralph and I’m not aware of any of these references, except the US vomit one. I just liked the sound of it and it matched well with his brother’s old fashioned name

Same, and I never even read the whole book! Just flicked through it as a teenager when my older sister was reading it.

I am not alone in my trauma. I want to buy you a drink

Forever! (I'm 48)

We had triple art on Wednesday afternoon and read it whilst working on a group project.

I vividly remember the strange bit with the aftershave 😬

I remember the rug! Did they have sex on the floor? Or did the rug go on the bed? Hazy yet seminal (pun intended!) memories.
And yes I too will never hear the name Ralph without thinking of willies.

The actor Ralph Fiennes. I'm 53, never heard of the book. I know of the actor Ralf Little, different spelling obviously.

I'm 63. My best friend's dad.

I'm in my 50s. My first thought was The Simpsons.

When you said book, I had to rack my brains for a few minutes but then came up with Lord of the Flies.

This is maybe a local Scottish thiny in my area thing - Ralph is used to describe the sound of someone violently vomiting, generally after drinking too much!
