I love Raquel. I'm not sure about middle names though.

I do prefer this name over the name Rachel.

It was a long time on my PNL, but the "q" bothered me. :S
Well, right now I an only thik of Raquel Sofia, Raquel Breanna, Raquel Penelope, Raquel Océane, Raquel Morwenna and Raquel Evelina.

Raquel is one of my favorite names at the moment, but then I am going through my Spanish names phase. (Catalina, Raquel, Graciela, Calixta, Ignacio...)

My favorite combo including Raquel is Catalina Raquel, but that might be both too Spanish and in the wrong place for you.

I think it sounds best with three or four syllables, ending in A, some emphasis on the next-to-last syllable. :-D
Raquel Cassandra
Raquel Liliana
Raquel Juliana
Raquel Isadora
Raquel Georgiana
Raquel Ariana
Raquel Adriana
Raquel Eliana
Raquel Alexandra
I think you get the idea by now, lol.

I've always preferred Raquel over Rachel. Most find that it has a Spanish appeal, and I do too. I think I find the 'k' noise less harsh that the 'ch' sound, so I prefer it over all. Plus, it is a bit less common without being too out there.

The only combo that jumps out at me at the moment is Raquel Veronica.
