What do you think of the name Raquel? Do you think it’s better than Rachel? What would you pair it with?

I find Raquel very sexy and cool. Beautiful name. Better than Rachel? Not sure. Raquel Imogen, Raquel Adriana, or Raquel June would be great.

I like it. It's glamorous, with a little bit of a hard glittery edge to it. I like it better as a mn. Rachel is nice but quite ordinary, but Raquel is a standout.

I do like Raquel more than Rachael (which is my preferred spelling). I think it's familiar enough that even in Anglophone societies it won't be misspelled (though I've seen Racquel before, which just looks wrong to me - even though I prefer Rachael to Rachel). Rocki is a cute nickname.

It sounds nasally, and arrogant. A total rich kid name. but I do like the flow of it and would probably like it if the spelling was different.

I think it sounds throaty, awkward, and unattractive. I don't like Rachel either, but I prefer it to Raquel.

I didn't like it at first, but now it sounds very hip and fashionable. I prefer Rachelle, but not Rachel (said as RAY-chul).

Sorry I think it's pretty ugly, I don't find anything attractive about it.
Definitely prefer Rachel and the 'ray' pronunciation.

It's so sweet and nice.
