Rachelle

I think in the Philippines the another pronunciation is Ray-shehl.

My name is Rachelle and a lot of people call me Racheal or Rochelle or Raquel but my proper pronunciation is “Raw-Shell”/“Ra-shell”. It’s pretty annoying when people mispronounce my name but I had nearly given up on trying to correct people so I just respond to anything at this point. The name does mean “ewe,lady sheep,lamb” in Hebrew and biblically she was the spouse of Jacob and mother of Joseph and Benjamin. So if you’re looking for a Jewish name or a biblical name for your daughter you can choose this name but keep in mind that people butcher this name quite a bit and 99.999% of the time whomever is named Rachelle will probably just go by Racheal, Rochelle, Raquel, or just plain Rach/ie.

I got yelled at today for saying "Rah-shell" instead of "Ray-chel." I'm sorry, but if Rachelle is pronounced Ray-chel than Michelle should be pronounced Mee-chel. If your parents wanted your name to be Ray-chel, they should have named you Rachael, Rachel, or even Raychel.

I know one Rachelle who pronounces it ray-CHELL. I quite like this pronunciation, and I think it makes it a refreshing change to the equally lovely but more common Rachel, RAY-chul.

I know of one person with this name Rachelle and she pronounces it Rachel.

The name will almost always be mis-pronounced as Rachel (Ray-chul) although I have encountered Rochelle, and even Michelle. (Michelle most often with the hard of hearing)

This name sounds best pronounced Ra-SHEL.
