I don't think so. I've only heard "Rafa" and "Rafeta".
Rafa Nadal

Rafito, Rafucho, Rafa, Rafi, Rafaelito, Rafaelote
Rafi
We had a neighbor named Raphael but here in the USA he was just called Ray by everyone.
I have a family friend named Rafael, originally from Ecuador - his wife calls him "Rafi"
Edit:
Oh, and sometimes she calls him "Rafico" ![]()
