Re: Do you go by a nickname?
Haha, I'm one of those girls named Rachel who hates being called 'Rach'! xD There are a couple people in this world who more or less have my permission to sometimes (rarely) call me that, though.There are two people in this world (not my parents) who may call me Rachie. I like it fine, but it's 'special' and not for general use. Other nicknames based on my name I've been called: Rachiebell and Ruchelina. Lol. Otherwise, I am always Rachel, and that is my preference. I love my name and don't feel the need to shorten it. :)

My stepfather sometimes calls me Rachie, or Rachie-Kachie. He started doing it when I was little and it stuck.Other Rachels tell me Rach sounds like "wretch", but I never got that from it.

I had never connected Rach to 'wretch' until you mentioned it. xD No, I just have never liked how Rach sounded. A little too short and clipped for me.
