The name Rachel is an undeniable biblical name. It is found in both the old ad new testaments. There are customs in Judaism to give your child a name of an ancestor, or deceased relative. Regardless, Rachel has been a popular name because of her significance in the Bible and the meaning of the name, ewe or lamb.
As you look in the bible for the translation/significance of the name Rachel, you should look deeper at the significance of the ewe or lamb in the bible. There are many uses for lambs in the bible; Tabernacle sacrifices, blood on the door posts to protect the first born sons during the final plague, and (what might be the most significant symbolism)Jacob worked with sheep for 14yrs in total finally marry the beautiful and loyal Rachel.
There are many brilliant stories of Rachel's character that should make you proud to carry her name.

Sincerely your fellow Rachel
