On first sight, I'm saying this name "ruh-FAN" in my head, and thinking it's possibly Hebrew, Arabic or Indian in origin. I was really not expecting it to be German! I do agree a bit with humblebee in that the name itself and the pronunciation "RAY-fin" skirts the trendy category (especially in that it reminded me of a Biblical name, which are pretty hot right now), but there's nothing wrong with that. If it was spelled Raephyn or something, THEN it would be in the annoyingly trendy category :)

It's an interesting name, I like it.
