Raphael

Do you like this name, with the nicknames Raphi and Raph? What middle names do you think would sound good with it? Poll is coming.

I quite like it. Not a massive fan, but it sounds classy, has meaning, is solid and can't be made fun of. Also has a nice long and obvious history. I like Raphi as a nickname.

Similar names/matching middle names:

Antony/Anthony
Dominic
Alexander
Theodore
Reuben
Sebastian
Vincent
Gabriel
Oscar
William

A bit more out there:
Rocco
Caius
Herschel
Byron
Blake
Leon
Jonas
Felix

I think it needs something quite special as a middle name. A mediocre middle name (like James or John) with something like Raphael may look like you ran out of steam!

I like it but I think it depends on your surname. If it's a bit more unusual it's great but something like Raphael Smith may sound a bit odd.

Varenne - Raphael Theodore would be an awesome name!!
