How to honor a Rachel?

Without using [name_u]Rae[/name_u]. [name_m]Long[/name_m] versions that you’d put as a middle. Not against it (example: [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] Rae) it’s pretty, but how could you make it a longer honor?
Thank you ◡̈

[name_f]Raquel[/name_f] is my favorite Rachel-family name! I also really like [name_f]Rahel[/name_f] and [name_f]Rahela[/name_f].

[name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f] are other, longer options.

What about [name_f]Chelle[/name_f]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] something that relates to the meaning of [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] (sheep)? [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] means can mean shepherdess or wanderer.

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] contains all of Rachel’s letters, so that would be my pick!

Rochel…

[name_f]Rochelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Rayna[/name_f]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] (for the lamb meaning)
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (with the a-ray-lee-uh pn)
[name_f]Soraya[/name_f]
[name_f]Rafaella[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeray[/name_f]

[name_f]Chellie[/name_f] maybe? [name_u]Or[/name_u] Chel?

I have a [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] I want to honor too! But it’s kind of tricky… [name_u]Rae[/name_u] is my default, but most of the honor names I consider for her come from her middle name instead. I suppose you could do most [name_u]Rae[/name_u]- or [name_u]Ray[/name_u]- names. Chelsea maybe? [name_f]Ixchel[/name_f] if you have Mexican heritage? There’s also [name_f]Richelle[/name_f].

I know a [name_f]Charlet[/name_f] who was named for her aunt [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]

[name_f]Ella[/name_f]? From Rachel

Also….

[name_f]Raya[/name_f]
[name_f]Chava[/name_f]
[name_f]Raissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]

[name_u]Chandler[/name_u] - as with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (great idea), all of Rachel’s letters are in this.

[name_f]Raegan[/name_f]
[name_f]Raelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Rahela[/name_f]
[name_f]Rainey[/name_f] (Lorraine?)
