[Opinions] Rachel
What do you think of this name? I don't care about popularity so tell me why you like or dislike it. Also, how does Rachel Ann sound, spelling wouldn't be changed, it would be honoring 2 people for me. TIA!Proud Auntie to: Robert Joseph and Brady Lovander, Juliana Mae and Sophia Lee, Graham Joseph, and soon to be one more!

I really like Rachel / Rachael, but for some reason it doesn't grab me. Maybe its because my Mom adores ADORES the name, like come on she had two girls & could've used it :D. Rachel Ann has a nice flow and even though I'm not a fan of Ann I love that the combination honours people so I definitely think it works. Nice!

I love this name.It's gaining in popularity, though. I'd still probably use it. Rachel Ann is an okay combo...just very, very bland.

I LOVE it! Rachel is gorgeous and classic.Rachel Ann is really boring, especially the Ann. It's great that you want to honor someone with Ann, but why not do it with something more interesting?Ideas:
Rachel Annelise
Rachel Anna
Rachel Annabella
Rachel Annemarie
Rachel Annika
Rachel Ana
Rachel Anya
Rachel Annalisa
Rachel Anelie / Anneli / Annelie
Rachel Annora
Rachel Anouk
Rachel Hannah
Rachel Marianne
Rachel Marianna
Rachel Mariana
Rachel Susannah / Susana
Rachel Adrianna / Adriana
Rachel Tatianna / TatianaEven a middle name starting with the letter A would be honoring the person.

My new niece is Rachel Nicole and I love it. It's a beautiful, classic feminine name. It's old-fashioned but yet has a contemporary feel. Ann is fine as a middle name, but I always prefer it spelled Anne.

The name Rachel (I prefer the spelling Rachael) is nice. I think it's classic. If I were to use it it'd be as a mn. Rachel Ann is pretty and I like that you're choosing it in honor of people you know!

I dont loathe Rachel, which is more than I can say about most girl names.Ann is too boring and plain, and overdone as a mn. But the combo in general is nice~~Kris~~

I adore that name!I love Rachel and here variants such as Rachelle etc. more often. I think it's a gorgeous name and one of amy all-time favorites. (This reminds me, my brother Nick is going out with a girl named Rachel, which is the only case of normal Rachel that I've seen around where I live.) Rachel Ann is great and I wouldn't change the spelling if you paid me. ;)

I think it's nice. A bit dull, but I agree, if it's honoring two people, then it's fine. It gives the name more meaning.

I've always like Rachel, it sounds so pure and lovely. If Rachel Ann honors two people by all means use it!

I love Rachel, but I loathe the predominant pronunciation 'RAY-chuhl'. Objectively, Rachel Ann as a combo isn't terribly exciting, but you're honouring two people so that makes it very special. :)

I think it's pretty but prefer the spelling Rachael. And yes, it is too popular. I think that's worth caring about, since popularity will have more effect on your child than any other aspect of her name.Rachel Ann sounds extremely dull. I prefer a more interesting mn._____________________________________________________________________Elinor
