Rachel
The heck it isn't. Good ol'
Nanaea 's (one of our regulars) middle name is
Rachael . A very important person in two of the three abramic religions (the "major" three: Judaism, Chistianity and Islam) was the second wife of
Jacob and the mother of
Joseph and
Benjamin . Her name?
Rachael .
Okay, so your name is a variant, but a lot of common names today were merely variants of other names (
John , for example, or
Paul , or Sandi).
Be proud of your name. Find out more about it. It is, in its own way, as interesting as you make it.
Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or
Gaia Euphoria)
