[Opinions] Re: What nickname would you use for Raphael?
Some people may use Rafe as a nn for Raphael... sometimes you just have to know which case it is for certain people... just like Kate could be for Kathryn or Kathleen or Katelynn or just Kate or Katie and you can't just assume which it is. The main difference is that those are at least related.Jenny/Genny could just be Jenny or could be Jennifer or Geneva or Genevieve. Doesn't mean it's only valid for 1 of those even though they're totally different names.

Exactly. Good point with Katie. And Susie can be a nickname for Susan or Susanne or Susannah. A nickname, like Rafe, can stand more multiple names.
