My cousin is Rae or Ray, not sure about the spelling, sounds the same though.

Other nicknames I've heard or we have in the family:
- Rachelli (hebrew ch)
- Raychie (english ch)
- Rocky
- Rachi (like Rocky but with hebrew ch)
- Ruchie (hebrew ch)
- Ruchele (Hebrew ch)
- Hully
- Chelly (Hebrew ch)
- Raych (like ray with an english ch at the end)

We ended up giving Rachel as a middle name, so we just call our dd by her first name Smile

I've heard Ruchie, Racheli, Rachela, Cheli.
My Rochel is called Rochel by friends and family, but my name of endearment for her is Rochelu.

Mind turned into Lulu...
But that's only family and one she's out of the house in school she'll be Rochel.

I know two Rachels who are known as Shelly, and one who goes by Kelly. (I think both sound very nice!)

In elementary school we had a girl nicknamed Raitch.
