Ráichéal

Rachel is too harsh sounding, but this spelling is very pretty, and I like how it's pronounced more softly, with the sh sound instead of the ch sound.

This is a much prettier spelling of Rachel, however, I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

I don't like Rachel, but Ráichéal has been growing on me lately. I think Ráichéal looks and sounds much prettier, as it lacks the elements I find unsavory in Rachel.

I like it! Definitely a good name for people wanting an alternative to Rachel. But why would people want an alternative when they have a pretty name like Rachel? :-) Lol.

My name is Rachel, but I'd love it to be spelt like this! Ráichéal is magical.
