Which one

[FrankieRose82]

Hello, looking for a boys name. Which name do you prefer from the below.
Rafferty
Rafe
Ralph.

Ralph

Rafferty on the bc. Nn Raffie

Rafe

Ralph

Rafe

Rafferty

Rafferty (Raffie)

Ralph

I don't like any of them.

If I had to choose then Ralph cos Ray Fines and Ralph Vaughan-Williams, then Rafe cos Rafe Spall. Raffie is awful.

Ralph if I had to choose one

If you forced me to choose one….then it would be Ralph….rafe is too pretentious…..rafferty is really awful

Rafferty. Don’t like the other two.

Ralph (if I had to choose)

Raffie is awful and sounds like Riff Raff

I know two gorgeous little boys called Rafferty nn Raffy, and it’s grown on me - it really suits them. I find it harder to picture on an adult though, so for that reason I’d pick Ralph, to give a more traditional option if preferred when he’s older, but still giving the nn options of Rafe, Raffy, Ray, Ralphy etc… if wanted.

Ralph

Rafe/Rafferty sound a bit pretentious/ try hard

Raffety .

To add another option, Ranulph

Rafferty.

Anything but Rafferty

Rafe

None are exactly my cup of tea ( my favourite R names would be gentle Rowan or quirky Rufus) - but of the three, definitely Rafe.

Ralph reminds me of vomiting (think it’s the US term for it), and Rafferty is a trendy celeb surname-as -given-name ( If you want nn Raff then Rafael is quite nice).

Ralph.
Really don't like any of them. Sorry x

Ralph

Dislike all but Ralph is the best of the bunch. Absolutely not Rafe. Rafferty isn't cool as a first name. Sorry.

Raphael or Rufus are lovely.
