[Opinions] Re: Rachel vs Rachael
Today just now, I looked up the origin of Rachael and saw that it was a variant "probably based on the spelling of Michael." Somehow I missed that before.For this reason alone I prefer it. It's got an extra letter thrown in just for looks, the pronunciation doesn't even really make sense because if it were like Michael it'd be Ray-kul not Ray-chul -- and it became frequent and normal enough like that, and is appealing enough still, that people are still asking which one is better! That makes it more interesting.I actually think Rachael looks more interesting and cooler, so I like it more. But Rachel is nice, and I often spell Rachel automatically and forget that there is a name Rachael so it's not a strong preference.- mirfak
