What does everyone think of Raffaella? I once preferred Raphaela because it looks less frilly, but now I'm gravitating towards Raffaella's rococo air.

Here are some combos:

Raffaella Beatrice
Raffaella Benigna
Raffaella Cordelia
Raffaella Cosima
Raffaella Diana
Raffaella Dorothy
Raffaella Edith
Raffaella Eugenia
Raffaella Eurydice
Raffaella Fabia
Raffaella Gaia
Raffaella Ginevra
Raffaella Giorgia
Raffaella Giuditta
Raffaella Ingrid
Raffaella Ismene
Raffaella Isolde
Raffaella Isotta
Raffaella Josephine
Raffaella Martina
Raffaella Matilda
Raffaella Minerva
Raffaella Osanna
Raffaella Ottavia
Raffaella Patrizia
Raffaella Richenza
Raffaella Romilda
Raffaella Sabina
Raffaella Sibylla
Raffaella Vincenza
Raffaella Viola
Raffaella Virginia
Raffaella Viveca
Raffaella Winifred

I prefer Raphaela. The 2 Fs and two Ls looks messy, not angelic.

Raffaella Giuditta
Raffaella Ingrid

I like all spellings of the name, though this one may be my least favorite. It is fun in its own way, but the double f with double l is not quite my thing. My favorite is the simple Spanish Rafaela, followed by Raphaela.

I do understand what you mean about the rococo appeal when looked at in a certain light. I’d be delighted to meet any spelling of the name, anyway.

& as usual, I like your combos. I still think about Raphaela Sigrid, as you once posted. I think it was that spelling anyway...

Hmm. I think it would be a bit much in an English-speaking country. But it's pretty; I like your combos.
