Also- we are in more right wing circles
Is it typical to have a Ra-chel ? Will she feel like it’s a more modern name growing up in more yeshivish school system etc ?

Spell it Rachel
If you want it pronounced your way, call her Racheli and no one will put emphasis on first part.
Ruh-chel pronunciation is more yeshivish but both are really accepted

Spell it Wraughelle. Because no matter how you spell it, manyones will pronounce it differently from the way you want them to. Spell it Wraughelle and you have a sliver of a chance of happiness, because at least some people will bother to ask you how to pronounce it rather than guess wildly.

Rachael is linguistically wrong. People spell it this way because they think it's analogous to Michael, which it isn't remotely.


Love this

I know of people who spell it Rahel. Davka so that people will pronounce it the way they want.
