I actually never thought all that much about the name until I started liking Nadal hehe. I like the way he says it, but so many people ruin both his first and last name the way they pronounce them -- RA-fee-el especially. He says it kind of like there's no E in the name.

I love Rafa as a nickname.

Me too. I will never be able to think of Rafael/Raphael as anything but a Ninja Turtle... and I am a painter.

totally the best match i have ever seen. :D:D

I like the name Rafael but i can't stand it when people shorten it to Rafa. it makes me think of the Liverpool FC manager.

I love the nickname Rafa. Not so much a fan of Rafael.

But wow what a great match, huh?

Oh, I hate when people call him Rafa. I can only call him Rafael. Maybe if I married a guy from Spain or Brazil that name would come up, but only then.
