For some reason my first name is difficult for my work colleagues to remember and this has led to some interesting alternative names for me with Rachel, Alison and Raquel being the most frequently used. WDYT of Rachel, Alison and Raquel

Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

Rachel is okay. Raqueal sounds a bit rough but admittedly spunky, so I like that - especially if it has the NN Rocky. Alison is a very pleasant name.

Rachel is one of my favorite names. I also enjoy Raquel. Allison/Alison is not my favorite, but it’s alright,

My name is Rebecca so Rachel is probably closest in that it is another biblical name that starts with R.

I was going to say it's wild that they can't remember a name as common as Rebecca, but then I realized it's actually rare for Rebeccas to go by Rebecca. I think almost every Rebecca I've ever known has a nickname. Becca, Becky, Bex, etc.

I quite like Rachel for other people. Wouldn't consider it myself. Raquel is not used where I live, so I can't comment.

I love both Alison and Alice, and would gladly have used either, but DH had unfortunate associations with his stepmother's mentally challenged sister, who had a crush on his father and used to hover outside the bathroom door until he came out! I don't like Allison, though I am very fond of the two Allison people I know well.

Now I'm trying to find common ground between these three names, but no luck so far - I still can't guess your name!

I like Alison but it feels dated, Rachel is overused and I don’t really like the sound of Raquel in English.

I like Rachel and Raquel. Raquel is a less boring take on Rachel. Allison doesn't do anything for me.

I think all three are decent enough names but they do give me different vibes.

1 Alison - a wholesome girl-next-door with VA sunny disposition.

2 Rachel - a serious & bookish individual who worries a lot.

3 Raquel - outgoing, exotic & sexy (eg. Raquel Welch)

My favorite is Alison(I do prefer Alice). I like Rachel, and Raquel isn’t my thing.

I like them all; Allison/Alison is one I might once have used. Raquel is very glamorous and a bit flashy. Rachel is warm and friendly.
