Rachel is a nice name, but it would be cool if you spelled it Rachelle. I like that spelling. I like Rachelle Irene. I also like Rachelle Marissa.

This is a name I have always liked. I think Rachel Katherine, Rachel Sarah, Rachel Jane, Rachel Grace, Rachel Naomi and Rachel Poppy are all nice combos.

Ohh, I ADORE the name Rachel! Rachel Kristin is nice but nms.

I knew a Rachel Racine (as a middle name). It didn't come from any place in particular, just happened to be what her parents liked as a middle name. I liked it; it was simple but unique without being really "out there."

I'm not a big fan of the name Rachel, probably because I know so many of them. However, I like Rachel Amber as a combo.

I've recently really started liking the name Rachel as well, and I'm really into the combo Rachel Sophia.

Do you believe?

I love Rachel. For a long time, it was my absolute favorite. I still love it but it's not in my top 5 much anymore.

---

I prefer Rachel Kirsten to Rachel Celeste. No real reason.

---

Some suggestions (sorry if some have been mentioned already):

---

Rachel Kathleen
Rachel Catalina
Rachel Eve
Rachel Clarice
Rachel Matilda
Rachel Evelyn
Rachel Caroline
Rachel Frances
Rachel Maris

If I recall correctly, you do eventually want to change your name & you are going by your mn now, right? Would you be interesting in using a combo of the other names you'd previously mentioned? Maybe Rachel Kirstin Elizabeth, Elizabeth Rachel, Rachel Elizabeth or Eliza Rachel Christine? I like the last one the best, especially since you are going by Liza & you like the Rachel Christine combo. :-)

If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God, whom he has not seen?

Rachel is my sister's name. Her full name is Rachel Margaret after our great-grandmother who passed away 5 years ago. I don't know very many Rachels, but I know that there were a lot of them in her graduating class.
I really like Celeste, though I don't think it's plainer than Rachel. Rachel Celeste is really nice :-)

I love Rachel too. I like Rachel Maria but out of the ones mentioned I like Rachel Katherine.

I don't really like the sound of the name Rachel (or any other Ray/Rae names for girls). I don't think it's popular for babies now, but it has been popular in my mid/late 20's generation so it's not something I'd consider for a child.

At #34 last year, it is indeed too popular for my taste. (It's even worse - #12 - where I live though.) I know far too many Rachel's to see the name's charm anymore.

---

I don't think Rachel needs something plain, which I do see Kirstin as (another very overused name where I am). I do like Rachel despite its popularity, but because of that I think it's best as a mn. (Actually I'd like to use it as a mn myself one day; it's the name of a favourite cousin I love to pieces.)

---

Either way, it needs paired with something more original and probably a bit frillier, than itself.

WDYT of Rachel Celeste?

I like it, and I also think it's simple and pretty. I suggest Rachel Katherine and Rachel Mary.

Check out my profile for my PP's names.

I would say that Rachel does fit into the "too popular" category....
