Haha, I'm one of those girls named
Rachel who hates being called 'Rach'! xD There are a couple people in this world who more or less have my permission to sometimes (rarely) call me that, though.
There are two people in this world (not my parents) who may call me Rachie. I like it fine, but it's 'special' and not for general use.
Other nicknames based on my name I've been called: Rachiebell and Ruchelina. Lol.
Otherwise, I am always
Rachel, and that is my preference. I love my name and don't feel the need to shorten it. :)
