Rochelle
Replies
I was at school with a Rochelle, who was plumply pleasant and a redhead. We were happy that she was at our school, because a town nearby had a (very good) girls' school called La Rochelle.
I've got two very good Michele friends, one here in South Africa and one actually in France. I've never met a Michelle that I've liked nearly as much, and that's affected my opinion. But, I prefer Michele to Rochelle.

It’s okay. It was the name (albeit spelled differently) of a family friend so that’s all I can think about. I like it much better than Michelle, which was overused IMO.
It's interesting that this seems to get associated with Rachel. Rachel is such a different name to me in style, even though they have similarities I would never associate them with each other. Michelle and Rochelle are much closer to me. But on this site it also says that Rochelle became popular because it sounds somewhat like Rachel.
One of my best friends and one of the very few people I can talk (or not talk) comfortably with is called Rochelle, so I have a very positive association. It’s not really my style and I wouldn’t use friends names, but I think it’s a really fun choice. Far more interesting than Michelle in my opinion.
