Raphael and Hugo are my favourite!

Raphael would be my number one mainly because I like the nickname options Rafe, Ralphie etc.

Rather inclined to giggle. Doesn't put things away.
The names are all a little bit much for my personal tastes, but out of them, Dashiell is the one that appeals the most. Mainly due to the very cool nn option of Dash.
Hugo would be my next favourite, followed by Raphael.

I don't like Cillian at all, mainly due to the 'kill' sound at the start of the name. And the series would turn me completely turn me off the name Dexter, even if it wasn't still Perfect Match robot and/or uber nerd to my ears.

Rafael, Dashiell and Hugo all sound really good and have a more 'boyish'sound to them.

I don't think Cillian goes with your daughter's name too well

Hugo or Hugh

I have only heard Cillian pronounced with a hard c so assumed that was the only pronunciation.
