Rachel, please!
in reply to a message by Bellatrix
Rachelle is just a Frenchified variant of Rachel. It seems overly complicated to me, so I don't like it very much.
Rachael looks like a combo of Rachel and Michael to me, and therefore ought to be pronounced RAH-kel instead of RAY-chel.
But I love Rachel, pure and simple. Rachel, pronounced ra-SHEL, is also the (original?) French form of the name.
