I really like Raquel. It's just saucier. Rachel is lovely, but I just tend to prefer names with harder sounds.

RachaelI've always thought Rachel looked incomplete--I much prefer Rachael. Even though that's not the original Hebrew, I like that it mirrors the spelling of Michael.

RahelaRahela is my favorite form (I generally prefer the -a ending forms of names). From your list my fave is Raquel.

I'm not overly wowed by the name Rachel, but if I had to choose a spelling, I'd pick Rachel. Nice and straightforward.I once got the combo Rachel Cora from Name Genie once and it actually made me like Rachel, so that's my stock Rachel combo.

Rachel Cora is nice......Cora sweetens her up. :)

I too prefer just good old Rachel, but I also like Rachael.I think Rachel should be paired with something less common and more unexpected to give her a little zip.

Rachel, seeing as it's my name. It's the most common spelling and people still seem to have trouble with it. (I've gotten Rachael, Rachal, Racheal, Rachele, and once, I think my school managed to get my surname stuck in my first name and I got Ratzel).
Raquel and usually Rachelle are pronounce differently. I wouldn't even consider Raquel the same name.

Raquel is the Spanish and Porteuguse form of Rachel so that's why I put it up there--even though it's not the same name it really is a form of Rachel.
