Well I wouldn't have the problem of Ralph/Rafe because in the US, Ralph is pronounced RALF, not RAYF.

Uh huh, I know. But Rafe is a form of Ralph, and also doesn't even sound like the Raph in Raphael. I guess if I didn't know Rafe = Ralph, I might dislike Rafe for Rafael a bit less, but I'd still think it sounded contrived. YMMV
