What do you think? Gorgeous boy of my cousin who can't totally decide.

I like it, think it's cute for a little one and yet suitably grown up for an adult

Rafe is the traditional pronunciation as in Ralph Fiennes.

Ralph always reminds me of Forever too and I'd have to veto on that basis Blush

oops whiffle I obviously had the wording of your post in my mind when I wrote mine.
Although my veto is penis-based rather than cartoon-based!

'Penis based' hahaha. But exactly why I couldn't.

Rafe is how those I know pronounce it (and the traditional English way I think. Ralph Fiennes is probably the most famous example) but obviously Ralf is a pronounciation too.

I prefer the Rafe pn out of the two.

Yup - penis name.
