Raffy

[hithereguyss]

What's your thoughts on Raffy please? Thanks

Awww I love Donkeys, defo an animal rather than human name.

I've only seen it spelled as Rafi. Somehow it looks better spelled that way.

My niece is Raffie (short for Raffealla) . It wasn’t my fave when I was first told but it grows. I think that’s the case with all names once you get to know the child you love them and can’t imagine anything else! I don’t/didn’t love any of my nieces/nephews names but I can’t imagine them called anything else and they all suit their names!

Yes, but your niece has the option to use her full name where 'Raffie' would be too informal, e.g. in a professional capacity. (Raffealla is lovely.)

It doesn't sound as if the OPs child would have that option.

How do you say Raffealla, @Tryingtohelp12 ?
(I'm aware that OP's baby will have a name by now)

I agree that it is a lovely nickname but I would put a longer version on the birth certificate so they have options when an adult. As others have suggested Raphael, Rafe or Rafferty.

Like Raphael-la. They also thought she’d have the option of Ella as she gets older but honestly she already has such a huge personality I thinks Raffie works for her !

I roll my eyes at a lot of these trendy baby names. I find them really wanky (a concept of which I couldn’t explain if I wanted to). But I really like Raffy!

Possibly not, little Raffy might be coming into the world any day now!

@ReeseWitherfork , you're not wrong, seeing at the OP only started the thread and didn't mention being pregnant or having given birth.

I don't know if Raphealla is a typo for Raffaella, or if it's said as Raffella, Raffeh-alla, Raffy-alla...
Don't like it anyway - too frilly

We have a Rafi in the family, it's a lovely name.

Not a proper name. OK for a nickname for Rafferty.
