Help with un-nameable baby!

[devoncreamtea]

My lovely son was born 6 weeks ago and I can't seem to name him! I have fallen in love with the name Rafe but not sure I can go there...opinions please! I have 3 daughters called Meg, Bess and Emma so must 'go' with them. Other options are - Will, Tom - (dh likes...) many many thanks for your opinions, I'm well and truly stuck and running out of time!

Rafe is gorgeous. Cute as the name on his peg when hes in Reception and fab on his business card when hes the managing director of ICI. :-)

Ted?
Laurie?

Tom is great name

I quite like Rafe too

Rafe goes perfectly with your daughters' names. I think it's a lovely choice.

I love Rafe. Why are you cautious of it?

Rafe IS gorgeous . Why can't you go there?

What are you subconsciously calling him all this time?

Duncan or Adrian. I really bang on about them, but they are perfect.

It seems Rafe means "Wolf" - how fantastic! Go for it!

If you have really "fallen in love" with the name Rafe, wouldn't you always regret not using it?

i think it's perfect.

trust your instinct!

Wow! thanks for replies - you're right rafi why can't i go there?!! I think i just felt it was a bit unusual.....your positive responses have encouraged me tho!

rafael and call him rafe? then he has a few choices? lovely btw

Raphael?
Gabriel?
Gideon?

Six weeks old? Best get a move on. Have you made an appointment at the registry office?

yes...it's at 2 today!!!

Oooh Devon! Let us know what you decide and CONGRATULATIONS!

Hooray for Rafe's special day!

Rafe is lovely, I'd stick with that.

Tom ia a little dull and Willy will be teased with Willy.

Rafe is fab, i know a grown up Rafe and he is whit whoooo

If I'm not too late. Another vote for Rafe here.

I was always unsure about DS name as it did seem a leetle 'out there' but it suits him perfectly.

It's a great name, Devon, unusual enough to be interesting but not too weird, easy for your ds to spell & say - & it's not often you get a unanimous YES on the baby names forum!

We have a Rafe! Full title Rafe William. PERFECT. Thanks everyone for encouraging me to go with my instinct. YAY!

Congratulations

I am so happy you went for it devon - it is a lovely name. Welcome to the world Rafe
