Could get used to it if it were someone's name.
But it lacks visual appeal. "Ritch" looks harsh.

Oh - I thought it rhymed Mitchell. Then I looked it up - pronounced like Richelle.
That IS interesting! Hmm... The silent t is weird, but not so bad.

Hate it. Rachel or Richelle is better.

Eh, I don't love it. I don't think it's awful, but it doesn't make too much sense.

Rate my name list, please! I finally got around to making it rate-able and all :)

Ugly, but

It's gritty like Ruchel, which I like.

Richenza and Richenda and Richildis are better.

I first came across Richildis in one of Dame Ellis Peters' "Brother Cadfael" books. I've been partial to the name ever since.

It's hard to pronounce - Richelle, Rochelle, and Raquel are better

What is it supposed to be?

A cat? A ship?

I'm sorry but I think it's awful. Super harsh and sounds like you are saying Rachel in a weird way. Like you are mocking someone named Rachel.
