One more vibe check: Raphael

[SharpGoldWriter]

Really appreciate all the input!

A superb Renaissance artist. Also a rather nice angel in Milton's Paradise Lost.

It’s a super cool name. Knew someone who shortened it to Raif which is again very cool.

Really like it
it was on my list 25 years ago!

Kid running around Farmfoods and his shouty mum.

I quite like it, not super popular but not “out there” either, people will know how to spell and pronounce it

I love it and would use it if we ever had a 3rd boy. It’s top of my list.

It's the name of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I love it.
It is cool (TNMT, 90s, etc) but also beautiful. I knew a Raphael who went by Raph (raff) to his mates growing up but now uses the full version and always gets complimented on it!

Love it.

lovely

This was on my list too but had a girl. Love it, fabulous name.

I really like it. Taught a Raphael a few years ago and he went by Rapha which I really liked

My nephew. We call him Rafa

Love it

It has gravitas. ❤️

Love it! Really like Rafa, or Raff - Raffy is cute for a younger child / affectionate nickname

Love it, it's cool, arty, has professional gravitas. Also looks beautiful written down. Wish I'd used it (although I did use Gabriel which I think is similar.)

Absolutely not

Yes. It's good. Vibe check passed.

Yes great name. I know a couple of young raphies and they’re ace.

'Raphael is cool but rude, Michaelangelo is a party dude' - sing it with me!

I absolutely love it. I couldn’t use it for mine as it’s the name of my limerent object when I was 15!

To pps, you can use it for girls too, we have a Rafaella in the family.

I would spell it without the "ph" though.

Love it

Love it. There was a Rafa at my DC's nursery and I always thought it was a cool name.
