About the name Rachel in Korean
Rachel is written 레이철 (Re-i-cheol), and 'cheol' sounds like 'chul' with a rounded vowel. The spelling 레이첼 is also common. Look at the matches and you will see that none begins with 레. A leading 'l' or 'r' is often avoided in Korean names, so 'Re-' softens to 이 (i) or 유 (yu). 이채 (怡彩, I-chae) keeps the front vowel and the 'ch' of the last syllable, and it is bright and joyful: 'joyful color'. 유채 (柔彩, Yu-chae) is the gentle one, 'gentle color', and it is also the name of the rapeseed flower. 이서 (怡瑞, I-seo) shares the opening 이, but its ending is only a loose match, and its meaning is 'joyful good fortune'. Two of the three share the character 怡, so joy is the common thread, and the choice is mostly about the second syllable.
