[Opinions] Alan
I recently rediscovered Alan as a first name. I really like the simplicity and down-to-earth feel of it. I really like the combo Alan Raphael, common vs. unexpected. Thoughts?

Eh, it's okay. It doesn't really "pop", though.
It certainly is simple and down-to-earth. I find it a bit boring, but it's not a bad name. Alan Raphael is pretty good - although I really like Raphael, so I'd hate to see him lost to the middle name spot. :)
At first thought I thought "Alan? No, way too boring!" but as I sit here saying it, it is sounding nicer and nicer. I like it with Raphael.
Alan is very nice. I like Allen much better though.
I like Alan. I find it to be rather handsome. I'm not a huge fan of Raphael but it does sound nice with Alan.
I love Alan for its sturdy, manly, no-nonsense, mid-century feel. I'd be pleased to meet a baby Alan, and I think it would stand out in a good way amongst the Masons and Liams.
I dislike Raphael, so I can't work up much enthusiasm for Alan Raphael. I do like the idea of an uncommon or unexpected mn paired with Alan, though.
