What do you think if Rafferty?

[sunsetandcocktails]

We like the name Rafferty, Rafi for short. What comes to mind for you? TIA

Horrible

I like Rafferty! Raff for an adult

I like it, sounds great to me

Your child will hate you. Sorry.

The Riff Raff association puts me off.

Surname... Similar to Harrison.

I’d think you were copying Jude Law + Sadie Frost.

If you want an unusual name, why not not one coined by a celeb?

It's a bit frilly, prefer Ralph.

I love it, esp nn of raf to rhyme with ‘safe’

I am a fan of surname names though

Just another surname being used as a first name, and not a particularly nice one at that.

Rafael/Raphael are much nicer.

I'm in both camps - I think it's a dog's name but I still like it for a kid

Rafferty is up there with Tarquin and Reign-Beau. Raphael, however, is a beautiful name for a little lad and Raph for short would make me smile every time I said it.

No.

I prefer Ralph/Rafe/Raif to Rafferty.

Refferty's garden. Love the sound though. The only rafferty I know of belongs to a hip professional ostentaciously gay couple.

I can think no further than Judy Blume's 'Forever' when I hear 'Ralph'.

Reign-Beau

Omg please tell me that's a real name a human has used for their child

No, just no. Horrid sounding and when I look at it I just think of really stinky farts.

The only one I know is a dog and has the nickname raffles. I don't mind Raf it Rafi as a nickname but Rafferty as a full first name seems silly somehow?

Love it!

Raf makes me think of the Royal Air Force or riffraff. I think it's a bit downmarket.

I prefere Raphael, Raife is om...

*ok

Love it, and it’s a name that suits a child and an adult

Sorry no
