Which spelling? Pronounced to rhyme with safe

And ideas for middle names?!

Rafe or Ralph

Never seen it spelled Raife.

Middle names - I think you need two or three syllables

Rafe Edward
Rafe Alexander
Rafe Dominic
Rafe Leon
Rafe Samuel

Agree with Rafe or Ralph (like ralph finnes- rhymes with safe) never seen it spelt Raife before and I’m not keen on that spelling personally.
I also agree a longer middle name sounds good

Rafe William
Rafe Tobias
Rafe Josiah
Rafe Oliver

Rafe or Ralph

Keep it simple...

DramaAlpaca · 24/06/2021 19:04

Rafe if you must.

At least you don't want to spell it Ralph.

stellarfox · 24/06/2021 20:50

Rafe. I’ve not seen the Raife spelling either

FayCarew · 24/06/2021 22:24

Rafe or Ralph or another name.

Iampicklerick · 24/06/2021 23:48

In my handwriting Rafe would look like Rape and Ralph is always mispronounced.

So Raife.
