interesting, I love Raquela which is very similar imo so I wonder why I haven't thought of this one before. Very distinct and strong

Yes! This was on my list for potential daughter names... though I have it spelled Rafaella. I love the nickname "Rafe" or "Raff" on a girl. If she had turned out to be sweeter or more gentle, then there's the nickname "Ella". I prefer Rafe though!

It's ok

Lovely name, although I don’t care for this spelling. Rafaela or Rafaella are strong, womanly names with rich history.

It's really fun. I love the "ffael" part best. This name is like a party.

I like it! I also like Raphaela.

Mehhhh. I like Rafael, think it's unisex
