@squeamishsquamish - good point. My name’s French (and I’m British) and nobody’s ever batted an eyelid!

@PlantPotting, 😂 I’ll PM you!

Rufus. Rafael sounds a bit frilly to me.

I love both but Rufus is an absolute favourite of mine so my vote goes to Rufus.

Rufus makes me think Rufus the Dufus....or roofies (as in the date rape drug).....or the dog down the street
