My name is Rachel as well. I think the name is very classy. I was named after my grandmother, and when I was small everyone called her Rachel, and my family called me Ray. Some still call me Ray, but most call me Rachel, and I loved the way It'sounds. I hate when it is mis-pronounced or mis-spelled. It's very frustrating. You would think that a name that goes back as far as biblical times most people would at least know how to pronounce it!

Hey, my name is of course, Rachel. People tend to spell it RACHAEL like Rachael Ray. I'm not a big fan of the other ways to spell Rachel: Rachael, Rachal, and Richel. I also don't like when people say,"Rachel!" And I say,"Yeah?" And they say,"Not you the other Rachel." Since my name is so common it can get on my nerves when I think they are talking to me... Anyway I <3LOVE<3 the name Rachel. ;)

i've always liked my name; "little lamb" is not my favorite meaning in the world, but It's not the most common name in the world, either. It rarely gets mispronounced, but people always spell it with an extra "a" which becomes annoying, considering that is not the original spelling. Does anyone know how to pronounce it in its original language -Hebrew-?

the name is ugly and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. i am actually used to it but still get sick of correcting people (yes it is my name)on the pronunciation. it really just never'sounds pretty, just different.i have met several women with this name. usually they seem to be about 10-15 years older, which i suppose puts their births in the late 50's to mid 60's. and i suppose the correct way to say it is like pamela with a T cuz that'seems to be my daily response.

My name is Rachael - My mother'spelled it differently- through most people render the'spelling as "Rachel". I grew up in the 70's -at that time the name was not very popular.- When I was young - I did not particularly like my name. I always wished I had a name that was more popular. Like Mary, Kimberly, or Betty. I was named after my grandmother. As I got older - I appreciated my name more- because it was unique . Now the name is extremely popular. Rachael is the Hebrew name for ewe or lamb. It is a name that reflects gentleness ,tenderness and meekness. Some inter'sting facts about the name -Rachael -- in the Bible-- Rachael was Jacob's wife- he loved Rachael so much that we worked seven years for her father Lemuel, in order to marry her. In the bible Rachael was described as very beautiful.

I picked out the name Rachel for my future daughter when I was 15 because it was classic and beautiful and not overly common...THEN Friends came on the air and everyone was naming their daughters Rachel! I was very annoyed. Fortunately, Friends ended and the name Isn't as popular as it once was so when I named my daughter Rachel 3 years ago, it was almost back to being the'same simple, classic name that I had chosen originally.

I love the name, I just wish it wasn't so common! Sometimes people spell it with 2 A's but it doesn't really bother me. Every single year in school, except for 5th grade, there's been at least one other Rachel in my class. Seeing as my last initial is "P," this led to a lot of teasing..."Rachel P peed on the tree on the way to PE" but not anymore. It's all because of Friends, in my opinion. If Jennifer Aniston's character had been named something else, it wouldn't be so popular with girls in my generation (I was born in the late 90s). I have a family friend, an older man, who always pronounces my name like "Racial" like a racial slur, which bothe's me, but it doesn't happen'too often. But all in all, I like the'sound of the name and I'm proud to be a Rachel!

My name is Rachel, but it ticks me off about how so many people spell it "Rachael" no matter how many times I tell them otherwise. I don't like having a name that is extremely common and possibly one of the most popular names in America. As for the meaning, lambs are often led astray, but I prefer going against the crowd. Personally, I think the name "Terra" fits me much better.

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.

Hi! I'm another Rachel! I don't like how people put the A in it! No extra A, only one A! I like my nicknames: Rach, Chachel (long story), and Ray. Once I'met Racheal Ray, to sign my book she wrote. She was like," What's your name?" I'm like," Rachel." She was like," Cool. How do you spell that?" I'm like," R-A-C-H-E-L." She'said," Oh." Insted of writingit my way she wrote Rach's Rule insted. She was nice to me. :)

I'm Rachel. Growing up in the 70's and 80's it was so uncommon that the name'stuff like key chains, stickers or stationary in the'stores NEVER had my name. Now it is common. I go by the name in Spanish Raquel. I love this name 'cause it has a translation in almost every language. I love the biblical history behind it. Every time I hear that'story of how Jacob worked 7 years and then another 7 to marry her, I feel special and beautiful. I also love the pronunciation of the name in Hebrew. Everytime I tell people my name everyone always says 'oh beautiful name'.

I don't like my name, especially the original (Julia). It doesn't suit me at all and I don't like the'sound of it. It's too harsh, while Rachel is so soft and easy to pronounce.
