How this list is scored
How this list is scored
Middle names for Raphael, ranked for rhythm (a different syllable count from Raphael), a clean join and staying power in the long-running records. Rhymes and sounds that run together count against.
A middle name earns points for a syllable count different from the first name, loses points for the same count, a rhyme, or a first name whose last sound runs into it, and gains for staying power: how steadily it has been given across the long-running records, which matters more for a middle name than current popularity.
Scores use official birth statistics from 40 regions and origins from Wiktionary. How these figures are computed.
