Comment left Mar 04, 2008: "Hello to my fellow Raquel's don't we just have the best name in the world. It's nice to have a different name. However I hate it when people call me Rachel. I mean, really, how can you get Rachel out of Raquel. I love my name and wished people would take the time to get it right. It's not really that hard." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 28, 2008: "Hey..my name is Raquel also. People pronounce the qu like a k..but i don't mind. But some people pronounce it like Rachel. How in the world can you watch qu and pronounce it like ch. Some of my teachers do that when they call my name. I don't answer cause my name's Raquel not rachel..hehehe. Some people spell it wrong too..like Rachel or Racquel. Only once have i seen somebody spell my name correctly and i didn't have to tell them how. Still love my name though :)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 19, 2008: "My name is Raquel, but I've been called both raquel and Rachel. I use Rachel mostly with friends, social occassions and to differentiate between my aunt and I(she's also named Raquel). Just now I've started to embrace my latino name. My biggest pet peeve is when they mispronounce it. I think that was what made me not like it in the first place. so people say it right, please. Its Raquel (with the "qu" sounding as a K, as in kite." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 20, 2008: "My name is also Raquel. Honestly I love both my name and "Rachel." I feel a real bond with Rachels. Being Mexican-American, my parents trained me early to never let anyone call that though. Do any of you other Raquels ever get upset when people try to spell your name with a "c" as in Racquel? Where did this come from anyway? Is it just a misspelling that caught on?" (Report as inappropriate)

Thats not to say we can't do it ourselves. The Raquel's that I have encountered have all been soooo beautifuland hella SEXY!!! I LOVE my name especially when it's said in spanish!"
