Nice but only spelt Rachel or Rachael (Scottish way)

CurlyhairedAssassin · 08/03/2014 17:54

You've spelled it wrong! The Michaels and Rachels (or Rachaels) at school always had people getting the a and the e mixed up and writing Micheal or Racheal by mistake.

Rachael or Rachel.

Racheal would be pronounced Ray-cheel.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/03/2014 17:52

Rachel - please don't spell it wrong. Rachael if you must, but why over-complicate?

My cousin is Rachael, too Grin. She's about 40....

It's a pretty name, and I prefer the Rachael spelling. I think in the op's case it would be more trouble than it's worth and Rachel would be easier.

Funny enough, I was just emailing my 3rd cousin (she's about 20yo, Rachael).
Is name I wanted if DS3 had been a girl (Rachel version, probably).
Good name If you can handle some misspelling.

Not spelt like that! It's a nice name though.

WowserBowser · 08/03/2014 15:22

Rachel

Onesleeptillwembley · 08/03/2014 15:20

Rachel or an even more garbled Racquel?

CPtart · 08/03/2014 15:20

You've spelt it wrong.
Nice name though.

Wurstwitch · 08/03/2014 15:16

What they said.

And if the parent can't spell it, you know that the poor child will be correcting everyone for her whole life.

Rachael is fine, but Rachel is simpler. It hasn't been in popular use for a while. It was reasonably familiar when I was a child.

I like it. But I don't like it when folk can't spell stuff... (My middle name is incorrect on my NI card, it makes my teeth itch.)

SleepyPanda · 08/03/2014 15:11

Not if you spell it like that! Please don't inflict a child with a misspelling...

Rachael is nice, but I much prefer the Rachel spelling tbh Smile

LadyAlysVorpatril · 08/03/2014 15:07

Do you mean Rachael or is Racheal a separate name?
