Rachael is a mouth full and just does not roll off the tongue.

They are pronounced the same way. Rachael is the authentic Biblical spelling.

Rachel since it’s more common and a Rachael would inevitably have to deal with constant misspellings.

Rachel since it’s more common and will avoid the pain and hassle for her!! I also just like the spelling better - it’s more simple, straightforward, and clean-looking.

Rachel is more traditional and easier to catch.

RAchael - looks really nice and is a more interesting take on a common name

i prefer Rachel, it looks better and will be the way most people will spell it, the extra a is just unnecessary.

I have always spelled Rachael like that...it just seems "natural" to add the a in there. Best of luck!

Rachel, for sure. That’s how everyone will assume it’s spelled, and Rachael just seems like such an unnecessary burden.

My name is Rachael and everyone spells it like Rachel. So do your kid a favor and name them Rachel. NOT Rachael. Everyone will misspell your daughters name and it’s NOT cool!
