  1. My name is Rachael and I feel very privileged to have such a beautiful meaning in the bible. I absolutely adore children who are everything to me and I teach and tutor those in need at no profit and especially children who need help and nurturing. I feel all children are so precious and deserve to have the opportunity to learn how to believe in themselves and know how special they truly are. The other meaning to Rachael I only just discovered means mother to all and that made me appreciate my name so much more!

  2. We just thought it was a beautiful name that isn’t super common these days. Her whole name is Rachael Grace Brink which has a nice rhythm to it and everyone we’ve shared it with has said how pretty the name is, literally no one has objected. She’s a very pretty little girl so it fits. Rachael means ewe (female sheep/lamb) and is a prominent female figure in the Bible, Grace was given because I like it’s many meanings. I also intend to give other similar names if I have another daughter, Natalie Hope or Abigail Faith.
