WDYT of Rachel?

dairygirl19 · March 2009

Dh is entirely in love with the name.

I like it fine, could deal with it, but it's not my favorite.

It's definitely a doable middle name for my top choices though (Amy, Autumn, Natalie). It may not flow absolutely perfect but last name is super easy and if it makes Dh happy I'm willing.

I actually like Rachel better than Natalie and especially better than Amy or Autumn.

I think Rachel works as a mn for Amy, Autumn and Natalie, when you add a last name. At first they didn't flow and then I added a variety of last names and it worked better. I think Natalie Rachel flows the best though. I wouldn't worry about flow as much for a middle name because you'll probably only use it when you're yelling at her, lol.

Ditto. It's a fairly common name but I think it's really nice.

I wouldn't use Rachel as a first name (just because it's not really my style), but it's nice as a middle name - especially if your DH loves it so much. My favorite of your first names is definitely Natalie. So cute!

I like Rachel, I think I would like it even more if it wasn't my MIL's name! ;-) I think it goes well with Natalie, but not as much with Amy or Autumn. But it doesn't sound bad with them either!

I love it

It's my name and I've always really liked it. It's a nice solid name, no one has ever made fun of it to my knowledge, and it grows well.

Rachel is on our list too. DH loves it and I really like it. I don't care for Natalie, but I really like Autumn and Amy.?

I like Amy Rachel the best.

I like Rachel a lot. I actually like it better than your other 3. Of those, I think it sounds best as a mn for Natalie.

I really like Rachel or Natalie

I agree with you; It's nice, but it's not my favorite. I appreciate the fact that you want to make DH happy, but hopefully you can find a name you both LOVE.
