Boy names to honour a Rachel

Hi :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I’m looking for boy names that link somehow to Rachel.

So far I’ve got names that feature the ‘ray’ sound of Rachel - Rain, Ray and Raymond, and names ending in the ‘el’ sound - Nathaniel and Daniel. Also, I thought of Shepherd because it connects to the ‘ewe’ meaning of Rachel, and Raphael because it shares similar sounds, letters and look.

Please could I have any suggestions? They can be as creative and/or tenuous as you want.

Much appreciated!! :yellow_heart:

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_m]Rainer[/name_m], which is gender neutral!

Also thought of [name_u]Rae[/name_u] and [name_u]Rey[/name_u], which work as alternate spellings for [name_u]Ray[/name_u].

Maybe Rachid, Yerachmiel or Zerachiel?

Kind of a stretch but [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Raquel[/name_f] which reminds me of [name_u]Rocco[/name_u] and [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]

The Achel kind of reminds me of [name_u]Archer[/name_u] or [name_u]Axel[/name_u]. Both stretches I know but it’s all I got of what hasn’t been mentioned.

I saw the title and immediately thought of [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] so +1 for that great suggestion.

[name_u]Grayson[/name_u] is another name that has that “ray” sound found in [name_f]Rachel[/name_f].

Seconding [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]! It seems intuitive and it’s a cute name

[name_u]Ray[/name_u] / [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] would be my top picks! If it were a girl, I would add on [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] as well. Good luck!
