Raechel is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Raechel has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Raechel. That means that a girl named Raechel is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Raechel.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Raechel. Girls named Raechel have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,326 Raechel ranked higher than ever before in 1991. By comparison, there have been 87 years in which the first name Raechel has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Raechel only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Raechel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Raechel are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Raechel is registered in 16 states, among which are Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Raechel live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 80,177 would turn around if you called the name Raechel across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Raechel has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Raechel and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Raechel, you can simply say:
Rocket
Apple
Elephant
Cat
