I really really like it. Good across all ages. Raff is lovely as a shortened version. It's not crazy posh like Tarquin or Monty, I think it's a bit artsy sounding.

I actually really like it, BUT it's a bit self consciously cool/celebby. and I have a suspicion that it might get a bit, um, downmarket in future.

I like it. I know of one and goes by Raffi. Both are quite nice in my opinion. If you like it go for it.

Yes but I just wasn't brave enough to use it! Jude Law has a Rafferty I believe.

I'm loving the fact that the comments on here from 2009 were mainly negative bit the ones from 3013 are mainly positive!! Strange how 4 years can have such a difference!! I'm trying to think of names that everyone hates now but could be popular in 2017!! Smile

Love it. It will be one of DC3's middle names, whether it is a girl or a boy. It has significance in my (Irish) family.

No, it's poncy and pretentious
It's a surname
