I love Guy. Ross - Poldark? Yes, then! Not terribly keen in the others.

2kitcats · 18/03/2022 21:41

You lost me at Poldark @tearinghairout?? I love Guy too!

Love Guy
Like Rafe (never seen it spelt Raife)
Like joss

No to Drew

Mumofgirls2017 · 18/03/2022 21:47

Rafe spelt like that!

MissyB1 · 18/03/2022 21:52

Rafe is nice.
Drew - ok

How about Ralph?

RedPinkRose · 18/03/2022 21:53

Rafe (I also prefer that spelling) and Guy are great. I like the name John also.

@2kitcats I can't link it but have a search for Aiden Turner as Ross Poldark Wink

2kitcats · 18/03/2022 22:34

I thought Raife would encourage the proper pronunciation. Ray-f rather than Raafe, if that makes sense. I know only one spelt with an I but like both the same x

Rex
Axl

Lilaclavenders · 18/03/2022 22:50

I like Joss.

Quinn
John

DoucheCanoe · 18/03/2022 22:52

Raife and Drew are nice :)

Elspethelf · 19/03/2022 01:39

I like them all but Drew is not my favorite. Gus might fit on your list

Damnedalways · 19/03/2022 08:19

Raife and spell it how you like!

RedPinkRose · 19/03/2022 08:54

I like Seb too. I know a couple of Sebs who are Sebastian but they’re only ever called Seb.

WhoppingBigBackside · 19/03/2022 14:56

Raife - awful
Joss - I'd think it was a girl's name
Guy - really like
Drew - I'd think it was a girl's name

Lilaclavenders · 19/03/2022 17:15

Seb is so soft and incomplete sounding . It reminds me of sebaceous (oily)... I really don't like it.

I prefer Joss, John and Quinn!

Luredbyapomegranate · 19/03/2022 22:05

people mostly know how to say Rafe - I think a younique spelling makes it more likely to be said wrongly, not less

2kitcats · 20/03/2022 11:44

Thanks for comments. I am not keen on Seb, sorry. Rather Sebastian as a middle name I think.

Our accents are quite strong so in our area, Rafe would drag more than Raife. It's not top of our list however so maybe with the issues it's signs not to go with it.

Guy and Joss. X

Mumofgirls2017 · 10/04/2022 06:00

Like Rafe spelled like that, others not for me sorry
