ArchivesRe: Spelling
in reply to a message by Anneza
I think they just meant that Ray-Feel was the sound they wanted the name to make, and they want to know how to spell it.
Since both Rayfield and Raphael are similar but pronounced slightly different, I'd say just pick one and have a similar sounding name (I'd pick Raphael), or you could make up your own spelling, since there is no name I'm aware of pronounced ray-feel. Like Rayfiel, Rafele, Raypheel.
The problem is that this way the name looks very made-up, which of course it is, and people would have problems pronouncing it. So I really would just stick with Rayfield or Raphael.
