Honest Opinion Do You Like This Name?

Question

Raffi. Pronounced Rafee.

Short for Raffel?

Please tell me what you think and rate it!

=D

Answer 1

Raffi is a cute nick name.  I don't like Raffel though.  Seems kinda faux-exotic.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

It reminds me of Rafiki, that baboon off of the Lion King.  Sorry!

Answer 4

Honestly I don't love it. But it's not one of the worst one's I heard. It's way better than Apple or Zuma!

Answer 5

not a big fan.

Answer 6

Not really. It reminds me of my son's ear doctor, his name is Ravi.

Answer 7

no  

Answer 8

Nope, i don't like it and i would never have guessed it was a girls name!  Raffel sounds like a boys name.

Answer 9

It's great, but you have to think about if he'll be made fun of because of his name. It's a great name, but you know kids these days, they'll pry apart anything they can.

Answer 10

Raffi pretty much sounds like when my 2 in a half year old daughter pronounces giraffe and says raffee instead so i wouldnt want this name for my child

Answer 11

Sorry, my honest opinion would have to be no:(  It's not my favorite, but does that matter?  No.  It's your baby, and your opinion that matters most.  But instead of Raffi, maybe you could try Ralph or Raffael?  (Pronounced 'raff--eye--ELL').  Cute, sophisticated, similar names to Raffi.  If you named him Raffael, you could use Raffi as a nickname, and then when he grows into Raffael, you could call him that.  Good luck and congrats:)  Bye!  xxxxxx

Answer 12

The only Raffi I ever knew was actually Raphael. Raffi is a common nn for this.

If you don't want a nn, try

RAVI  Gender: Masculine

Usage: Indian, Hindu Mythology

Pronounced: RAH-vee    

Means "sun" in Sanskrit. Ravi is a Hindu god of the sun, sometimes equated with Surya

Answer 13

I do think that Raffi is a great nickname for Raffel - I would, however, spell the names as either Rafi/Rafael or Rafi/Raphael.

Rafi is the nickname of Rafael Nadal, my absolute favorite tennis player, and I think Rafael/Raphael in general is a gorgeous name.  Raphael is in my own top 5 names, so obviously I give it a very high rating. :)

ETA: Ah, I see - you meant it as a girls name.  In that case, it really, really feels off to me.  It looks like a misspelling of Rafael, and then going one step further and using it on a girl doesn't seem right at all.  I definitely don't like it on a girl, sorry.

Answer 14

I like it, but it's kinda weird.

Raffel makes me think of Ruffles, or raffia (fake straw, dunno if i spelled it right).

Raffi is a nice nickname.

I've never heard the name Raffel before, but I do like it.  

Answer 15

honestly i dont think that would be such a good name for a little boy! Keep searching best of luck and lots of baby dust to you!

Answer 16

I was going to say yes, but then I saw that it's for a girl - so no.  Sorry.  I like it for a boy though.

Answer 17

nope.

sorry.

rate: 4 its origonal
