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 !

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.

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
