Completely stuck on boys names!
I really like Raphael, but can you call a white, British baby boy Raphael?!😜 I associate it with Rafael Nadal!

Yes sure. He may think it's cool to share a name with a ninja turtle. Smile

My white British boy is Raphael.

Of course you can. I’m white British, yet my first, and middle name are not British.

We have a Rafael in my nursery. His nickname is Raffy and it’s adorable

We had French gardener called Raphael, he was also a session musician. Lovely
