Ixchel

There is something so oddly beautiful about the name.

This name is beautiful and also the name of my step-sister. We've always it pronounced eek-shul.

Beautiful meaning.

It's so pretty and I love the meaning.

Ixchel is such a beautiful name; I've never heard it before, but it's gorgeous! The meaning is awesome as well. I absolutely love it!

I wouldn't use it, but it's cool.

Oh my God, love it! Rainbow lady is awesome!

This is a name the Maya used? Rainbow lady? I prefer Rachel.

I love the meaning. But how do you pronounce this?

Nice!

This would be a good nickname for a 9-year-old named Rachel, because it (the ix) is the Latin numeral for 9, and it also ends with 'chel'.

A beautiful sounding name, like a soft hush.

I've fallen in love with this name. I first heard it in the film "Apocalypto", when a village woman prays to the goddess Ixchel. The pronunciation sounds so beautiful and soft. I love the spelling as well. (It's very Mayan, and I like names with "x"s in them. It looks cool :) And I love mythological names. This name is very uncommon, but not unusable outside Mexico. It's far simpler than other mythological names, like Xochiquetzal. If you are thinking about naming your daughter Ixchel, go ahead. It's a lovely name with a beautiful history.

I like pronouncing it "IKS-chul". It sounds cool and different.

I know someone with this name. It's rather interesting.

WAAAY hard to pronounce, it should be pronounced (I think) EExshelle or something like that.
