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!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

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

ooh nice.

oldschoolcool · 04/02/2018 21:13

What's the turtle reference?

TatianaLarina · 04/02/2018 21:14

Of course. Gorgeous name.

My white British boy is Raphael.

Argeles · 04/02/2018 21:18

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

MrsMarigold · 04/02/2018 22:12

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

NC4now · 04/02/2018 22:19

Only if he has brothers Leonardo, Michael Angelo and Donatello.
