Help[Opinions] Re: Raphaela
in reply to a message by Bex
I’ve recently started loving the name Rafaela! I think the spelling Raphaela “fits in” more for English speaking countries.
I haven’t found any nicknames that I like. Of those two, maybe Raph. When written I feel like people will see “Ralph” at first glance though.
I think it fits with Theodora fine (which is also another name I LOVE), but I agree with Roxstar that it seems like a very masculine sibset and maybe a bit too much.
I do love Winifred too!
I don’t think it necessarily blends in with your surname, but I also don’t feel like first names need to, and I don’t think it sounds bad together. I know plenty of people that have very distinct surnames and their first names don’t match at all. For me it’s not really a big deal, but I know it is for other people.
