    Comment left Jul 05, 2008: "I'm Rachael and I love my name! Other comments are right, it's timeless and can't be pinned down to one time period. I knew loads of Rachel's when in high school and was sooo pleased with my unique extra A! Takes some people a while to learn to spell it, but that's prob why I love it! It's unique, and it's a gorgeous name." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 25, 2008: "its a nice name and all, BUT... its soo original!!! i see about 2 rachels a day!!! i'd like 2 see an easter!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 18, 2008: "My name is Rachel and I hate it. Please do not name your child Rachel. It is quite possibly the lamest baby name there is. It's VERY common. Ever since Kindergarten, there's been at least 2 people in my class with the name Rachel. I'm a very unique person and my name does not describe me at all. I prefer to go by Rae, which isn't much better, but at least a little less common." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 16, 2008: "My Name Is Rachael, yep with an A, there is 3 rachel's in my grade. and i am the only one that spells it Rachael. most people know my name is spelled different but they spell it like this RACHEAL,Or Rachel. It Kinda Gets Annoying That They Don;t Know The Spelling. aLOT OF people call me rach,rachie,ray,or just rachael ( which i prefur ) its a great name," (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 11, 2008: "My name is Rachel and i think all Rachels are very beautiful at least the ones i have known i think all Rachels out there are beautiful as i am. I don't know but it looks like some day i will name my daughter Rachel too. Thanks to my parents" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 19, 2008: "I love the name Rachel after i heard someone say it,and it sounded so beautiful..." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 12, 2008: "My name's Rachel and i know lots of Rachel's lol, i used to not like my name but now i love it! All you Rachel's out there rock lol! Rachel's an awesome name!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 07, 2008: "I'm a Rachel and I worked with a Ruth - people always called us by the other person's name, I've no idea why. My parents named me for the Rachel in the Bible." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Apr 30, 2008: "My name is Raechel, pronounced like the name Rachel. I love my name but I find it quite annoying trying to teach people how to spell or pronounce my name. For nicknames, I get Rae, Rach, Rachie. I know quite a few people with my name but not spelt the same way." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Apr 26, 2008: "I love my name because it does not really have a time period, like the names Tara or Shannon remind me of the 80's. I love my name because it is so simple and still not very common and really is almost modern all the time!I will be 30 this year and I love when I still here this name being used today on new little girls coming into the world.Like I said it's just simple." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 20, 2008: "My husband and I are going to name our baby girl Rachel. We found the name out of the bible and we both really like it. It is a strong name, it's a pretty name as well. You don't hear the name very often. I've only known one girl who had the name Rachel, which was when I was in elementary school. I have a friend her name is Raschel, pronounced as (ra-shell)." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 16, 2008: "I think it is a pretty name" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 14, 2008: "My name is Rachael, yes spelled that way (go all you with the extra A!) It's a really pretty name, i love it so much, and i don't think that even Rachel is all that common. There are two rachel's in my grade and then me. One of the Rachel's tries to spell her name like mine, and I think that's annoying." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Apr 09, 2008: "Rachıl:Where are you from?" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 05, 2008: "hiya my name is Rachel and i love it i have another friend called Rachel and we bought spell it the same i know it can be spelled other ways as my best friends sister is called Racheal and another person i know is called Reachel and its pronoticed the same! but which is accutly the right spelling i guess i'll never know if u want to tell me send the answer to rachelmontanna@gmail.com thanks! RachEl -- see the 'e' xx" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 01, 2008: "Named my daughter RACHAEL after her great-grandmother. I inserted the letter "A" in the spelling to resemble biblical angel names - like Michael & Rafael, and to modify the word "ache" in the traditional spelling. Her friends sometimes call her "Rach" which I'm not wild about, but she thinks is fine. I love saying her name... because it's her." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 30, 2008: "My name is spelled RachEAL and I have never met someone with that spelling before. Like the other posts I have read, I have had problems with people always spelling my name wrong, and even saying it wrong! But I love my name because it sounds so intellectual and it makes me feel beautiful!" (Report as inappropriate)
