I work with a Raphael who goes by Rafe. Others:

---

Rafferty (starts with Raf-)
Radcliff (starts with Ra- and ends with -f)
Rudolph / Rudolf (R-f)
Randolph (R-f)
River (Starts with R, and V and F make very similar sounds)
Roosevelt (R/v)

---

I think the "ray" beginning sound is enough to justify Rafe. So:
Raymond
Reagan
Rachel, even.
