This chart illustrates how many babies were named 
Rachel for every one million births in the U.S., by decade.
Rachel as a name for girls has been one of the 1,000 most popular names in the 
United States every decade since 1880. This makes it a classic in our book, 
which means while it may see its ups and downs, it's certainly not a new name.
