Well according to what i've been'told, if, in the bible, you are refering to the'saint, then it is actually spelt Rachael, not Rachel. And the original spelling of the name is 'Rachael' too. It's a Hebrew name meaning 'ewe' (female sheep). My name is Rachael too and othe's always spell it wrong (or even'tell me that It's not a real name!!).

My name is Abner. It is never'spelled nor pronounced incorrectly. I have NEVER met an'ther Abner (A goal that I hope to one day achi've). Very briefly, I think the name Abner is an excellent choice yet risky and one which takes patience to love. As a child I hated my name but I grew into it and also appreciate it and love it. I always get "I have never me an'ther Abner before". It's original and people remember you. I also feel that I don't look or act like an "Abner" (I know, what does that mean?). People do have conceptions of what an "Abner" will be like. Fortun'tely, I don't fit the cliché of a "nerd" or "red-neck" or old-fashioned" or any of the words that i have heard used to describe my name. An'ther name that'seems to generate the'same sentiment is Poindexter. I like being juxtaposed to my name. In'tead of being an'ther Josh, Zach or Matt, I am Abner an individual.
