Georgia
Amelia

Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated!

Glad people like my name!

I’m called Rachel and it’s such an easy name to have, only people seem to want to spell it Rachael

I do think of it as a bit of an 80s name (1986 here)
But what’s wrong with that !

MyNameIsRachel · 04/05/2019 17:04

Rachel is awful, sorry 😂Grin

Rachel is lovely , classic and retro in a good way. I don't like Maxine , very harsh sounding.

Rachel is very dated to our generation which means she’ll be the equivalent of a 30-40 year old now being named Barbara. (Sorry to any Barbaras!)

It wouldn’t stop me using a name I loved though - just honestly answering your Q.

Well I like Rachel. It's classic but not overly used. Georgia is close second though.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 05/05/2019 18:46

Georgia is my favourite out of your list! 🙂

Name change here..

My name is Rachel Maxine. I'm early 30s and it's served me well. I'm glad I'm called Rachel and not Maxine though. To be honest I rarely use my middle name for anything other than official documents.

Rachel

Maxine makes me think of Maxine Carr too.

hewontstopshitting · 05/05/2019 23:22

Out of your top 3 I’d chose Georgia

limpbizkit · 05/05/2019 23:28

Like all except Georgia
