Since my name is Rachael, I can't put someone down for spelling it a different way. People tell me my name is spelled "incorrectly" all the time, and it drives me nuts.

Really? I love that spellingPlus I always thought of it as more correct, like Nathanael or Rebekah (though I do like Nathaniel. I don't like Rachel or Rebecca much). Rachyl looks ugly to me. Why not use something like Rachelle or Raquel? They're pronounced slightly different as well.

Yeah I prefer Rachael and Rebekah too. I think it looks better. I dont think of them as more correct or less correct though.

Thank you for liking Rachael instead of Rachel! It's rare when I meet someone who prefers that spelling. And a lot of people mispronounce it; once, a customer read my name tag and called me "Raw-shy-ELLE." I didn't know what to say.
