Just out of curiosity I was wondering what everyone thought of the name Raquel? Yes it's my name and although I might sound arrogant I really love the name. A few people I have met in life told me it was a beautiful name... so it's interesting why then it isn't so popular of a name lol. My parents named me Raquel after the actress Raquel Welch (sp?) since they found her very beautiful.

The only problem I guess I can say about my name is especially a lot of teachers I can still remember struggled with it. They would always call me Rachel and it drove me crazy to the point where I dislike that name now (no offense to any Rachels here!) And my last name is already hard enough to pronounce so correcting people on both my first and last was a pain.

My first impression of Raquel is a character from the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, who was actually called Rachael but used Raquel as stagename. Once I get passed that, though, I think it's very pretty!

I think once I did read about that certain Raquel off that sitcom lol- oh and thanks :)
