Re: What nickname would you use for Raphael?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
My favorite is Rafe, but if I actually had a Raphael is real life, I would use Raff instead, as Rafe sounds too close to Laif (my husband's name) and I think it would cause too much confusion.

esp. in eastern Asian countries where people have a hard time differentiating between r and l sounds.
