I like it - but only if it is pronounced RAFFun. Then, it sounds pretty neat. That's how I would intuitively pronounce it. Honestly, RAY-fin does sound annoyingly trendy to me. Along the lines of ZAY-din. And it smacks a tiny bit of the word rape because of the RAY sound and the P in it. And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Germans would not pronounce it with a RAY sound.
