Hi, I’m Rachel myself, and it happens a lot that people pronounce my name in different ways. My name is pronounced like "ray-gol," but I often hear "reet-gel," "rashel," "raggel," "ray-gel," so it’s quite varied

Just in Dutch, Raa sounds like "table" (tafel)! Then I think it's a beautiful name. In English, it sounds a bit ordinary to me! -

I think the name pronounced as Rah-shel is the most beautiful!
I would give that name if it weren't so hard to spell.
I really don't find the other names beautiful. -

Reetsjel or Rasjel. I personally find Rasjel nicer. I also gave my daughter a name that can be pronounced in different ways, and I have to say it's really annoying. I'd think twice before doing that again. -

My niece is named Rachel, pronounced like "Ragol." The name indeed has quite a few ways to be pronounced, but once you explain it to people once, they get it. -

I find it awful when people pronounce it as Raagol. Sounds so tacky. Reminds me of Raagol Hazes. It's an English name, so stick to the English pronunciation. -

My name is Rachel (rashel). For me, you pronounce it in the French way. -

For me, you also pronounce it in the French way, but a lot of people think it's "ragel" or in the English way. -

My name is pronounced Raa-shel, and what you wrote above sounds super relatable. My parents thought Rachel would be the best spelling because Rachelle would become Raa-shelluh in the north of the Netherlands... Now I'm constantly called reetshel, I don't know which is worse haha????
