Raphael

I think Roman is a bit the new Ryan

I was in this predicament 9 years ago. Roman sounded too harsh in the end and I liked the angel connection to Raphael. I also loved that it was French, Spanish, Italian. International. He lives up to his name and is an absolute cherub. A true kind hearted soul ❤️

Raphael definitely. Raffie as a nickname is lovely. Not keen on Roman.

I've got an 18 year old Roman and most others I've heard of are younger. I love the name.

I love Rafael , Raffi and Rafe
Roman is OK but very popular.

Roman makes me think of Roman Abramovich. But as long as you like it who cares?! My son is Theodore Rafael George - I loved Raphael as a first name but not the shortened versions. The Spanish spelling of Rafael is due to his Spanish conception.
