Is Ralph that BAD?

[xmasevebundle]

I did a thread on here a while ago, apart from the judy blume(i didnt know who it was until i did the thread) and the simpsons link,

Is it really that bad?

I really love it, it feels right. Peoples comments are putting me off when i say what im calling him

He would be Ralph charlie..

It's my friend's sur name and she and her sons seem to cope (she's never mentioned hating the name anyway)

It is becoming popular, he will not be alone.

I wanted Rafe for a boy, (have two dds)

Ralph has the Judy Blume taint for me, but as others say that was looong ago.

I love love love it. I think it's a lovely name. I would use it myself if I could pronounce the letter R properly (I can see myself in ten years time shouting Walf without quite the impact I'd be hoping for).

Dare I say it - my gorgeous little 3 yo is a Ralph and his pet name is RaRa. I bloody loves it and so does everyone around here, think it depends on location more than anything.
We live in a nice part of the world where Ralph is considered very cool and certainly deosnt mean sickness or his winky lol.
Go for it!!

I am! I have called him it since 16w and it seems right!

I hope it dont become to popular, i wanted to find a lovely name that isnt common!

So excited to meet my little ralph

Rara! Cute.

Don't worry about the penis thing. Ii only remembered that when I read the thread and it's only going to be a few ladies of a certain age.

Unless kids are still reading that stuff? I doubt it!

I know a 6 yo Ralph (pronounced Rafe). It really suits him- I can't think of him being anything else.

ralph is michaels penis in forever by judy bloom
or it's an old man

Sorry, I'm of the Judy Blume generation, Ralph= penis for me too.

It's a great name. Literally had not a clue about Judy Blume reference. My name is Nancy and that is slang for a camp gay man - people tend not to think I am a camp gay man.

If you love it and it feels right, please use it. I promise you in this day and age there will be far more bizzare names than that. He'll be dashing and fabulous with a name like that! Babies become whatever they're called anyway.

I know a gorgeous three year old Ralph :-)

Really, absolutely no children these days read any Judy Blume (unless their parents still have their childhood copies) - they're barely findable in bookshops - so no problem there.

Ralph is a lovely name, whether it's pronounced Ral-ph or Rafe.
I have never heard of it being associated with vomiting either.

To answer OP - yes it is.
