What do we think of the name Rachel?

[Cluttergump]

I really really like this name for a little girl but worry that it is too common, as in popular.....what do you think?

i am loving rachel more and more. ran it past DD1 who is my barometer of names i.e if she says its not embarrassing then its not bos she is 10yrs and everything i do or say is really embarrassing to her.... - she said it was a lovely name and the best one i have said so far....go for it.

It's a beautiful and classic name tha will never be out of fashion.

Love it.

have good friend called rachel.love the name

It's my mother's name and one of my middle names. I think it's lovely and you can pick an unusual middle name to go with it

its classic

but plain

I'm a Rachel but it is spelt Raychel as my uncle named Raymond died around the time I was conceived.

I have always loved my name and have only met a few others. It doesn't get shortened either.

Agree with the poster who said that everybody wants to spell it Rachael.
