Ralph - Cool or terrible?

[endlessnamesearch]

Myself and husband are Struggling to agree on boys names and I am due in 2 weeks so starting to panic a little now!

I really like the name Ralph but my husband isn't sure and needs some convincing, what are people's general thoughts on this name?

I thought it was a little different and not too popular although not too out of the ordinary? ?

It depends - are you planning to pronounce it Ralph or Rafe

Terrible imho, sorry.

I knew a very cool chef named ralph

Makes me think of 'forever' by Judy Blume

We would pronounce it Ralph ?

Where I come from it means to be sick... 'God I ralphed so bad last night...'

I think I'll refrain from telling my husband it means vomit!!! That would definately not fight my corner :-)

I know a very handsome, floppy haired fellow called Ralph. I like it

Ralph is awful.It's lovely when pronounced as Rafe but otherwise no and it means vomit.

Cool whether it be Ralf or Rafe. Go for it.

I think I dislike Rafe even more than Ralph tbh. I also know a v handsome, floppy haired Ralph - but I still don't like the name, sorry.

I love it. Seems its a bit of a marmite name though.

thi is my Ralph

Another Judy Blume thought here!

Forever by Judy Blume too, sorry...

Very cute Misdee!

He's adorable Misdee.

How brill was Forever? It got passed around our class loads of times.

i did think of Forever when Peter called the puppy Ralph lol.

I really like it pronounced Rafe, but not Ralph.

And yeah, vomit, unfortunately - talking to Ralph on the big white phone...

We have a baby Ralph (Ralphie) in the family. He is very cute and the has grown on me but I still struggle a little bit with the vomit association.

I used to be a nanny for a Ralph (Ralf)
Gorgeous blond haired sweetee, I love it.

I like it. But Rufus is better.

I used to be a nanny for a Ralph too! Took me a week or two to get used to calling a 4 month old baby Ralph, but of course it's his name and grew to love it/him. He'll be 15 now.

Makes me think of the piano playing dog from the muppets or the slightly dim kid in the Simpsons. Which is sad coz I think it's actually a nice name but that is what I think of when I hear it! Think the Rafe pronunciation is nice too & that doesn't make me think of the muppets!
