Rachel, I’ve always liked this very classic name. Still works now, a timeless classic.
I choose Rachel. I love this name.
Rachel >>>>>>>
It's one of my favorite names ever! I don't like any of the others.

For myself? Catherine.
To see used for a baby? Helen.

I choose Anne because it's the closet to Anna, a name that I've always enjoyed. Anne is blank slate, meaning you can make it whatever you want it to be. I like it far more as a first name than a middle name, that's for sure.
Rachel has a nice sound, but it gives me mean girl vibes.
Catherine is boring and I've never found it pretty.
Helen is not pretty, and I know an unpleasant person with the name. Helena and Elena are much better. Even Ellen. "Hel" is not a desirable first syllable and I'm not even religious.

All these names are good, and are definitely better than giving a kid a weird name(in my opinion).
1. Helen
2. Catherine
3. Rachel
4. Anne
Anne is a bit basic for a first name. The others are just perfect though!
I might be a bit biased since I’m a Katherine

By sound, Rachel. By look, Catherine. I like all of these though.

I like Helen and Anne about equally: since Anne is a family name, I'd go for it IRL, in fact I have: it's my mn and my daughter's, and was my paternal grandmother's mn too. I was at school with an Ann Helen; I'd prefer Anne Helen and I think it's a very good combo.
Rachel is nice; I knew one who was always called Ray, which I didn't enjoy. Catherine and all its variants deserves a long rest.

Helen, definitely!
Anne.
