Middle name for Ralph

[Bearhugs43]

So we are having a 3rd DS!

Only name we both like so far is Ralph- want a 3 syllable middle name. Surname is 1 syllable ending -oors.

Please help!

Pronounced rafe? Or ralf?

Alexander is nice.

I think a longer middle name would work well.

Oh I am a fool, you already said you wanted a longer middle name

Alexander
Cornelius
Dominic
Thaddeus
Constantine

Oh, and Benedict!
William
Benjamin
Nicholas

Alexander and Benedict are my faves.

I like Alexander too and that was my first thought.

Or:
Nathaniel
Anthony
William
Bartholomew
Cameron
Benjamin
Elijah
Sebastian
Isiah
Christian
Malachi

Pronounced Ralf

Love Benedict and William

Ralph Alexander
Ralph Constantine
Ralph Dominic
Ralph Theodore

How would one get Rafe from Ralph ? In other words wouldn't you always pronounce it as written, Ralf?!

Anyway, how about these
Ralph Christopher
Ralph Sebastian
Ralph Nathaniel

I do know a Rafe actually, but he spells it like that, Rafe. So I always assumed these are two names, Rafe and Ralf/Ralph.

I love that name!

Lovely name! I think most middle names would go well with Ralph. You rarely use middle names so I'd choose a name with some meaning to you.

(I also have no idea how on earth you get Rafe from Ralph. All the Ralphs I know, British and European, pronounce it Ralph, as it is written.)

Had to google the name Rafe (out of curiosity) and it seems to a completely different name:

Lucky you...I love the name Ralph, and don't like any other boys names, but my DH will not consider it at all. I'm hoping it's a girl as we have lots of pink names we agree on! I would have Ralph Harry.

lots of people spell it Ralph but say Rafe

tis just one of those things

Ralph Fiennes I believe.

And many other nonentity Ralphs too.

Ralph Alexander is good.

Think Ralph pronounced Rafe is v posh (a bit like St John pronounced sinjun)

Mmmm... Ralph Fiennes.

Good name.
