I would not pronounce them the same
in reply to a message by Bellatrix
I would pronounce Rachel and Rachael the same. But Rachelle is French so I would pronounce it "rah-CHELL". If you don't plan on using the French pronounciation, I think Rachel is best.
There is also the Spanish form Raquel (rah-KELL), which I really like best.
