Yes - I too would be tempted to pronounce Rachael differently than Rachel, so I would think the names to differ in sound by the ch(k) sound prior to the diphthong within the vowels; if the names pronounce similarly, then I am perfectly indifferent to spelling variations, leaving this to the personalized preference of the name assigner--or ultimately, the name bearer.
