    Comment left Jul 09, 2009: "My name is RACHAL. I chose to spell it this way. It is closer to the Hebrew spelling. I changed my name to Rachal when I was in my 40s. My whole life I felt like I was someone else, instead of the name my mother gave me. Then I found out a few years ago my great-grandmother was named Rachel. Maybe I am reincarnation of her! I hate when people think it is pronounced Rakal or Raquel! I like the nickname Rach." (Report as inappropriate)
