What do you think if Rafferty?

[sunsetandcocktails]

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

Honestly I think 2000s primrose Hill set a la Sadie frost

Was trendy around 15yr ago now dated

Modern equivalents are Arlo, Grayson

Love it

Bit too try-hard.
Also you'll look like you're copying some celebs.

Too try-hard.

Can't get Raphael, either, unless you have strong say Spanish links. But then, I struggle with recent cultural appropriation regarding names.

Rafferty was an Irish poet from Mayo.

Rafe probably better.

Nope.

Love Rafi (& know a very cool 13 yr old Rafi) but not keen on rafferty.

@inisfree Mise Raifteirì an file.... Drummed into me in school!

More doggy or teddy to me. Raphael is lovely though

I like it. Love Raphael though

I love it! I love names that are a little bit unusual! We had a name for our first son we loved but didn't end up calling him it due to other people's opinion and now we both really regret not going with it.

I love it.

I love it. I don't understand the 'try hard' factor here. Although maybe 'try hard' is my style 🤷‍♀️

I love it!

Too common round here a raffy in every class now.

Raphael not so much

Trendy celeb name that no one was interested in until Jude Law used it for his son.

I love it.

I think it's terrible.

I know one, she is 8 now and a lovely girl. I think it is a nice name!

It's an Irish surname. No.

I think of this:

I like it, my dog is called Raffles and was nearly Rafferty. I think it's lovely for humans too!
