Just wanted to get some opinions on 'Rafaella' for a girl??

Am expecting 2nd baby in March and have a feeling it could be another girl. DD1 is called Coco and both have/will have an arabic surname..any suggestions for middle names also gratefully received!

Lovely name!

I think it's a lovely name - and not over popular, but not ridiculously unusual either.

Not keen!
It's like someone tried to make Raphael look more girly, but it's not working very well.

Thanks everyone, was good to get some non-biased feedback!

Particularly like Maryam or something else islamic for a middle name to appease oh, but think it would have to be something not ending in 'a'. Was thinking perhaps Zadie/Sadie?

Too frilly for me but would go well with Coco.
