Any thoughts? Am predicting nobody will like it and it'll get a good slating! But interested in views all the same!

I quite like it. Definitely prefer it to Ralph/Rafe. Can't think of any Ranulphs apart from R. Fiennes though, I guess people will often say "as in Fiennes?"

I like it too, a very distinguishing name

Thanks for comments so far - I like Ralph/rafe but can't get over the judy Blume associations and the spelling vs pronunciation issues. So this may be an alternative for us....

Its great, as long as you're giving birth to a 65 year old man.

Interesting comment. Didn't think it was if the old man chic genre like alfred and Wilfred - just thought it was unusual. Was it very prolific 65 years but then died out like Stanley, ethel, Mabel etc?
