It always confuses me when people ask about personalities. I don't think that names are tied to a specific personality at all. I mean, just because someone has met a Rafe who is quiet and smart, doesn't mean that if you name your child Rafe he will be quiet and smart, or that other people will hear his name and assume he is quiet and smart, KWIM?
That said, I LOVE Rafe. I have never known anyone with this name, sadly, but first heard is in teh movie Pearl Harbor. I can't remember if it was Ben Affleck's character or Josh Hartnett's character. They were Danny & Rafe... I *think* Ben Affleck was Rafe. Anyways- great name! I have also seen it mentioned on this board as a nn for Rafferty.

Oooh! I met one the other night at Barnes & Nobel's...of course, he was two, so I can't tell you much about his personality. But he played well with others at the train table!
I have to say, I love it. It was one of the last three names on our list with Penn. It feels dashing, accessible and warm all at once, so I think it's very doable.
