I like it but DH has vetoed it on the basis it is "too irish"

I like it - and I like Ralph/Rafe.

piscesmoon · 30/06/2009 19:56

It is very Irish, but I hate Ralph or Rafe too. I think it would be a good name for a cat.

Kayzr · 30/06/2009 19:57

I really like it.

ShowOfHands · 30/06/2009 19:59

It's a lovely name.

CountessDracula · 30/06/2009 19:59
