Raphael is amazing.

Why not just wait and see what he looks like? He'll tell you!

I love both, but DS2 was nearly Raphael, so that :)

Louis is lovely, but I know quite a few my age.

BernardBlacksHangover · 31/10/2017 10:47

Raphael by miles. Not keen on Louis - too famous-French-monarch-y to me.

MyBrilliantDisguise · 31/10/2017 10:48

Louis (but I'm prejudiced!)

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 31/10/2017 10:52

Raphael.

minipie · 31/10/2017 10:59

Raphael or Rafferty definitely, Raf and Raffy are sweet for a little one

Thiswayorthatway · 31/10/2017 11:04

Both.

Raphael at a push.

MegAndSprog · 31/10/2017 11:30

Louis is gorgeous!

I don’t hate Raphael but I find it a bit fussy. I prefer Rafael too, and love Rafe.

Tabymoomoo · 31/10/2017 12:09

Not a fan of Louis
Raphael is ok
Love Rafferty! Have a friend with son called Rafferty, everyone calls him Raff which is so cute.

Thanks everyone!

We have decided to go with Louis Smile

Raphael

Congratulations, Louis is such a lovely name.

KeiraC · 31/10/2017 14:13

I have a Louis so I am biased but I love his name 😊

PandorasXbox · 31/10/2017 14:47

Raphael.

Louis is nothing special and is everywhere.

ladybirdsaredotty · 31/10/2017 15:11

Thank you ThroughThickAndThin !

Keira good choice! Love it too 😊

He seems pleased with his name 😀

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/10/2017 15:45

Awww. What did he do. Did he smile when you said his name

Sophronia · 01/11/2017 13:22

Raphael

Itsanicehotel · 01/11/2017 17:42

Rafael. One of my favourite boys names. There are so many Louis around now.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/11/2017 17:44

Rtft Itsanicehotel, there's now another Louis. The OPs.
