Had already decided on Rafferty, now the middle name:

Blanchard

i love unusual names but i think its terrible,

dp agrees and says poor kid. he will never be taken seriously

No it sounds completely made up.

Blanchard? - no....

Rafferty will be enough for him to say and spell...give him a break!!

my nephew has an odd middle name and HATES it, is supremely embarrassed by it.

ive got rafferty on my short list, im trying to steer away from the jude connection but its also sarah beenys sons name..
i think of blanche from corrie sorry. good luck choosinf im having a nightmare trying to decide ive got 3 weeks left..

yeah, joining the 'don't like camp' I'm afraid - I also think of Blanche from Corrers, and I don't even watch it!!

Definatley more warrior like names out there that 'do what they say on the tin' a bit more - Rafferty is very flouncey, and followed by Blanchard - he's gonna get the shit kicked out of him at school I'm afraid!!

If you want unusual I'd definately stick to first or middle, then have a normal one for the other eg: Max Rafferty, or Rafferty Alexander - only my opinion tho - if you like it then go for it!!!

How many syllables in your surname? I always think it's nice to balance out a Rafferty is quite long, did you go off Rafferty Bob then?

Are you keen on a B name?

I have a suggestion, bit it's not traditional, so not sure if it fits

Rafferty Moss...
