[Opinions] Re: Raphaël / Raphaëlle
Hi !!!!I prefer the masculine forms of this name.Raphaël is aesthetically beautiful! I love names with the ë. I dislike the suffix -ella because it has become cutesy and horribly trendy.My favourite forms of this names are: Rafael, Raffaele and Raffaello.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

I love accent marks and French names, yet they don't allow them in some US states. They make the name look so sophisticated.The spelling Raffaele looks very nice, though I don't think I have seen it before. Rafael is 526 in the US, whereas Rafael is 258. There is a lot of Spanish speakers and Hispanic people in the US which is probably why as Rafael is the Spanish spelling.
