Re: Rachel

Well, obviously I'm biased, but...
What do you think of the name Rachel?
-It's pretty and sweet, but somehow sexy at the same time. I loved growing up with this name, and I love it now.
Do you think it's usable now that it's slowly leaving the top 100 or does the fact that it's losing popularity make it even more dated?
-It was always usable, even when it was in the top 100. I only knew two other Rachels in my graduating class of 450, so I don't think popularity is as big a problem as people seem to think it is. I don't think it's dated; I group it with names like Sarah and Hannah. It's more timeless.
Is it common where you live?
-Not too common. As I said, I knew a couple of other girls with the name growing up, and every great once in a while I'll meet another adult named Rachel, but I've yet to meet an army of them.
I love Noah Rachel, Rachel Tabitha, and Rachel Miriam.
