(en proper noun)- And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel'. Leah was tender eyed; but '''Rachel''' was beautiful and well favoured. And Jacob loved '''Rachel'''; and said, I will serve thee seven years for ' Rachel thy younger daughter.

- I recognize that a name like Rachel goes against my whole "ordering a different dish from everyone else at the table" rule, but sometimes you really want a steak, and that's exactly what you should get. I love the name we gave our daughter. It's not dorky, not too whimsical, and not too stuck-up. To us it sounded sweet, sporty, smart, and beautiful. It also works well with Sachs.
