Re: Why add an "A" to Rachel?
in reply to a message by Rachael
I don't know the correct answer, but I'm going to have to agree with Ylva that when translating from the Greek or Hebrew, that there was probably some discrepancy in how to spell it in English. Personally, my favorite spelling is "Rachael". I think it softens it, kind of like adding the "e" on Anne and "h" on Sarah.
