[Opinions] Re: This is why I didn't mention Raphy hahaha (nt).
The singer spells it Raffi.I think it's not that uncommon as a childhood nick for Raphael, esp. in other parts of the world where Raphael might be more common. It seems extremely unlikely that people would think that was a negative connection. The nickname of the 4 year old Raphael "Raffy" I know might make people say to themselves, Oh, now I get it, Raffi the singer is short for Raphael! but it certainly isn't worth mentioning as a connection since they call him Raphael much of the time and it's obviously a short form of Raphael. I'd think that when Raphael is old enough to get annoyed by people singing Raffi songs at him, his would-be teasers would be way too cool to sing Raffi songs out loud anyway.Anyway, I'd call my son Raffy if his name was Raphael. YMMV
