What’s In a Name?
Since I’ve been blogging, I’ve noticed a lot of things. These include that the general fashion blogger population must be rich to buy their $1000 Chloe bags, people really need to learn to use their spell check, and that there are a lot of bloggers that share my name- Rachel.
I first starting noticing this when my fellow Rachels would comment on one of my posts and write something like “-From one Rachel to another!” at the end of their comment. I started following some blogs of a few Rachels as well and it sparked a brilliant idea in my head- why not make a post dedicated to all my name-sharing blogging sisters? So here you go:
Name: Rachel P.

hahah you crack me up!
what an ADORABLE idea for a post…wish I knew more Amys….
And what is up with every blogger being rich- well, besides me?
I think Im the guilty one with spelling, I suck at it and forget to check….ooops!
Thank you! I’m not rich either, don’t worry 😛 I know of one or two Amys!
Such a cute idea! Can’t wait to check some of these ladies out!
Thank you Lauren!

Thanks Maria!!
Very sweet post. I will check their blogs out, If I’m not already following 🙂 Rachel is a beautiful name. I have a few Rachel friends too loll LOLLL on the spell check. I’m big on spelling and grammar, but find myself having a lot of mistakes. Especially when I comment. I don’t pay attention then.
Thank you! I make mistakes too- the other day I posted a graphic with “budundy” instead of “burgundy”- thank god someone showed me!
this is such a cute idea! and i am probably super guilty of the spell check issue, or at least some major syntax errors haha 🙂
oh no! haha I’m not crazy about it, only when people are terrible with it and claim to be a “writer”!
This is a cute idea!! I may need to copy you!:) I always worry about you reading my blog, I’m sure you find so many mistakes…I’m the queen of fragments and run-on sentences.
Oh no! haha I’m not THAT crazy about it- I just mean people who constantly make mistakes and claim to be a “writer” 🙂
Such a great post! Thank you so much for putting this together! I can’t wait to share it with everyone and it has been so good to follow you and the other Rachels 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks for participating!
How fun is this post! I need to round up all the Giovanna’s! So far I haven’t come across any.. but you never know! lol
Me either! you are unique
And what a great name it is!! I know a few other Ashley bloggers too!

This is such a cute idea! It’s weird though, because throughout my entire life, I’ve probably only came across 3 Al(l)yssas. But in the blog world I know of at least 5 and I know there are probably many more!
See- isn’t it funny how that works!
This is so cute! I don’t think there are many other Maya’s…..so I might have to go by middle name (probably not that many Lorraines…..) – I think I’m screwed, haha.
Love this post though – you’re so darn cute! We should scheme something together in the future 🙂
Thank you Maya! haha I guess you should just enjoy being the only Maya Lorraine, right? We should definitely do something in the future, I’m down!
This is such a great idea for a post! I’ve met a few Ericas along the way too! I love finding name twins. 🙂
thank you Erica! I never expected to find so many Rachels, so I just had to write about it!
Loving this Rachel thing!!
very fun post, I love this idea!
What a fun post! I haven’t found any Deana’s yet (pronounced Deena).
I haven’t seen any either! I need in on the secret, too apparently! 🙂 thanks for reading!
What a sweet idea! I’ll be hardpressed to find another Evani 😉 Can’t wait to check the other Rachels out!
Thank you! You have a unique name though- take it as a compliment!
haha same! It always takes me a minute to look at the photo and realize it’s not me!
How funny!! What a cute post idea!
This is such a fun idea. I am so excited to go and check out all of these ladies and their blogs. Hooray for finding new friends and new blogs!
