Coffee, the Italian spelling is Raffaella which we've also considered. There's lots of variations on the ONS list, but I liked the Raphaela spelling most.

Poppy Grin

Thankfully it begins with P, is one syllable and pretty normal.

Thank you, Jooni! Smile

B

Are you aware that Rapha is an upmarket cycling brand?

ProphetOfDoom · 24/08/2017 18:26

C, depending on your surname.

Otherwise B

ButterfliesandMoths · 24/08/2017 18:26

C

Chaffinch4 · 24/08/2017 18:26

A. I like the alliteration.

Crumbelina · 24/08/2017 18:27

Zampa, sadly I'm very aware that Rapha is an upmarket, cycling brand. DH is a keen road cyclist with his own club, but knows better than to waste our money on ridiculously over-priced cycling tops.

So yes, definitely shortening to Raphy and not Rapha. Thank you!

RatRolyPoly · 24/08/2017 18:32

A (love the Rosa Parks reference), then C then B. Agree with a pp that B sounds like two very separate names.
