[Opinions] Nicknames for Rachel.
Long story short: My name is Rachel and I hate my name. I can't find any good nicknames for it though. (I don't like the common Rach, Rae, etc.) I want something cute and unique. Something like the girl Aimee who used the nickname Amis. I thought Amis was a really cute nickname and alternative for the name Aimee. Anything like that for the name Rachel? :x

I used to know a Rachel who went by Chel (pronounced like Shell). I really liked it. Rocky and Rayna could work too.

Chelly? Kind of like Cherry and Shelly together... I can't really think of anything good.

I'm just suggesting what the nicknames could sound like. If you like 'em, you can sort out the spelling!
Raya
Rays
R
shell
shelly
Elle
Ellie
"Chill" :) That would be pretty sweet, if you could pull it off!
Like any?I like a previous posters suggestion of combining your first and middle name to come up with a nickname, too.

How about Raya or Raea? What is your middle name? Maybe you can combine part(s) of your first name with part(s) of your middle name. For example, if your name is Rachel Marie, you could go by Ramie.

My middle name is Elizabeth.

Some ideas:
Raeza
Rael (ray-EL)
RaelieA lot of people go by their middle names, so I think it would be fine to go by a nickname for Elizabeth, such as Ellie, Eliza, Bette, Bethan, or Beth. Here's a list of names that are related to Elizabeth in case you want to use one as a nickname: http://www.behindthename.com/name/elizabeth/related

Rachael is my name. Sometimes, people call me Rach or Rae, but I don't mind. I think it's kind of cute, actually.But I'm not you, am I? I think Elle could work. I've heard of Rachels being called Shelly at times, but I'm not sure if you'd like that.

Rochelle and Raquel are different forms of Rachel!Chel or Elle can work for nicknames!
