Re: What nickname would you use for Raphael?

I knew a Raphael once who was known as Rafi (RAYfee): nice name, nice person.

Rafa is very tennis at the moment, but moments pass. And Raff (like Riff Raff, the mad butler in Rocky Horror!) could be cool.

I agree, Rafa does remind me of Rafael Nadal, but by the time I have kids, it might not be so obvious.

Also, Raff just sounds weird to me. I don't know why. It might be because it sounds like Rap? Couldn't tell you.

Raff sounds canine to me, like a naughty pooch trying to annoy a distant postman. But at certain stages of a boy's life, that could be perfect!
