Racheal?

[mammamiaaaaa]

Thoughts please

Has she spelt it wrong by any chance?

Please don't do this.

Oh dear, Thurlow.

You'd think the registry office would point it out... Those poor kids having to go through life with everyone remarking on it! I wonder if the parents ever realise they got it wrong and try to correct it?!

My dog is called Phoebe. The kennel can't spell it and it comes back written a different way each time. I don't think she minds, but a child would!

Rachel from preference as that's the spelling used by the ones I grew up with.

My cousin recently married a lovely Rachael and my dyslexic brain makes the same mistake as the OP every time I write it.

In my experience Rachels have always been lovely and Rachaels less so which would make me favour spelling it without the second 'a'.

I also think it looks much nicer when written down and reduces the issue of the 'Racheal' spelling error.

My dd is called Phoebe and yes we have had some choice spellings!

It is Rachael. Easy to remember as A before E in the alphabet.
Of course I am biased. Rachel is acceptable if not common

I was thinking pheobe too! Racheal would be pronounced ray-cheel, just as pheobe would be pronounced fee-obe. Rachael is a pretty spelling though.

Rachel is very is these days. Something like 200 born in the last year of ONS baby name statistics (2012?)

I meant rare, not is. Obviously.

Blaine, if you have a member of your family called Racheal, they can't spell. Catholic or not. Although I'm sure the Good Lord will forgive them.

Lovely name but I like Rachel best. Sorry, OP.
