Dante or Rafael with Italian surname?

[Pinkywoo]

DS2 is due in two months and we can't decide on a name! DH is Italian (Sicily) and I'm English, at the moment he prefers Rafael and I like Dante. He says no-one under the age of 90 is called Dante and he'll be the only one, but that's precisely why I like it, DH has the most common name in southern Italy, literally half of males in Sicily seem to be called it (any Italians will be able to guess it!).
Also DS1 is called Michael and which is quite similar to Rafael, help!

Rafael sounds nicer

I love Dante. Rafael is a bit wet imo.

Love Dante. I know a ten year old Dante who has Portuguese parents.

I love both. They will become raf e Dan quickly at school. V unusual. My ds both have italian names, through their italian father. .and they love being the only ' xxx' at their massive secondary school.. If pushed Id choose Dante.

Another vote for Dante, love it!

I love both - I think you should have another boy after this one to use whichever you don't use this time. Gorgeous names.

100% Rafael. Dante seems to me like trying too hard although I like the name,

Haha nope, definitely done after this one!

Dante is lovely, go for it.

Update!

We went for Dante, he arrived two weeks early and as soon as I saw him I knew that was his name. Thanks for all the help!
