Help[Opinions] Re: Ralph
in reply to a message by Lily8
I think it's safe to say Ralph is highly unlikely to make a comeback in the US. Ralph is now a synonym for "vomit." It would be like namign somebody Barf or Upchuck.
I've never heard any American pronounce Ralph as Rafe. If I did hear one do that, I would think they were very pretentious and phony.
I knew one Ralph. He's dead now but he was in his eighties. He had a son who was also named Ralph but was called Skip by everybody. Who could blame him?
