Rafferty. Do it for me. I have long said that if I had had another boy, I would have called him Rafferty (dh disagrees!)

Rafferty. I'm a secondary teacher and have lost count of the amount of Jacks I have taught. Nice name but v v v popular Smile

DramaAlpaca · 29/03/2015 20:39

Rafferty for definite.

Jack is nice, but so popular, and Raffy is such a cute nickname.

Grannycrabapple · 29/03/2015 21:04

Rafferty all the way!

Oh I just love Rafferty. I would use it but we have two rafaels in the family already and it might be overkill.

Thanks everyone! Rafferty is my favourite too but think DH needs convincing... We're both secondary teachers too - it makes life much harder!

Definitely Jack. Rafferty seems a bit trendy.

Penguinotterfoxbadger · 29/03/2015 23:06

Jack.

Or Jonathan nn Jack or Jake

Tommy/Tom is nice too

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/03/2015 23:42

Rafferty.

Jake is nice but a bit dull.

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/03/2015 23:42

Jack, even.

Def Jack, one of my favourite names.

VT82 · 30/03/2015 11:47

I don't like Rafferty. Sorry!

ByTheWishingWell · 30/03/2015 11:50

I'm not that keen on Rafferty, but I love Raphael.

DP really wanted Jack if we'd had a boy, but I agree with PP- nice but dull.

Rafferty. Raff.

Love love Rafferty. Jack is nice but a bit boring.
