Re: What nickname would you use for Raphael?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
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
