HelpRe: Rachel
in reply to a message by BBH
Used to be positive back when I met a beautiful Raquel in Mexico and she played me an acoustic song on her guitar. She had long, dark hair with flowers in it and tan skin and sun on her face. She didn't speak a word of English, but she smiled at me and gave me her bracelet and I fell in love (well, as much in love as a fifteen-year-old girl who didn't even know her could be).
So, for a while Rachel reminded me of her.
Then, a few years later, I fell in love with another girl, an English one who when she went home, promised to return the next summer and we'd spend it together again. Then she went home and fell in love with someone named Rachel and could only tell me how amazing Rachel was. Now I see Rachel as a girlfriend-stealer.
I'd never known a Rachel really personally. I couldn't say what impression I'd have of it if I did.
Personal associations aside, I can't see a reason for it not to be a perfectly nice name. It's classic and not overused. It could be nice, I suppose.
