Just interested to know what you think of this name? It seems to have been fairly popular in the 70s/80s but what do you think of it now?
I sometimes think it’s timeless and other times think dated. I do like it though. WYOO

I like it. Solid name.

Dated probably due to the sheer amount I know of a certain age. Also my first thought is always Friends if I meet a younger one

Rachel is quite classic I think, so very useable imo - it's just a bit "blah" for me (neither love nor hate).

My Rachel is 12. There's 3 of them in her year group. It's a lovely name but wasn't on my radar at all until she was born!

Lovely.

I know a 2 year old Rachel. It’s quite refreshing among all the Islas and Avas.

Not keen. Hard-sounding and, having grown up in the 80s, I know a lot of them. I'd put it in the same group as Sarah, Louise and Vicky.
