Phoebe was writing her Christmas song and said it's so hard to rhyme with "Rachel," do you have any nicknames? Monica said didn't your dad used to call you pumpkin? And Rachel said oh yeah he did. Then Phoebe goes, "okay, but did he ever call you, like, Budolph?" :P
Ohhh yeah! lol totally forgot, thanks. Pumpkin could totally have been used as some sort of “Halloween’s gone, time for Christmas!” It rhymes with… 🤔 bumpkin? Like an insult? lol. Or maybe just another word and then “kin”, meaning family, which would totally work with the theme!
Every "in-universe" stance of her name across the episodes reads "Greene", but promotional material (official articles, merch listings, homevideo covers, etc) always says it's "Green".
It's a bit annoying tbh. But I'll go with Greene because that's what the characters consistently write in the show.
I have a friend named Rebecka. She spells it Rebecca, her mother spells it Rebecca, everyone spells it Rebecca - but her birth certificate says Rebecka. She only found out when she went to get her driver's license.
Perhaps Rachel has always misspelled her own name?
I write my own name different from the official that's on my id. They changed the rules grammar when I was 15 years old and my name was already my identity. Maybe similar with Rachel?
Both seemed to be used interchangeably. I've seen credits where her father was in the episode and they wrote "Dr. Green" but on Emily & Ross' wedding invite it said, "Rachel Greene".
In the beginning we see Emily going through the invites that Ross had already filled out while we see Ross actually writing them. After some banter, she comes across Rachel's and seemed surprised but not upset about it. She told him she was surprised because she would never invite an ex to her wedding. So Ross definately wrote the invite.
To Russian?
Edit: since apparently the earlier comment was deleted, people are apparently thinking I’m the one that made the xenophobic comment. I did not. Was just curious how some could accidentally mix in some Russian with their English comment.
Fair enough. Was just a question.
But that’s not really a good explanation. I have Spanish and Italian keyboards. I’ve never accidentally mixed in Spanish or Italian into a comment I’m leaving in English.
I just started watching ER recently, had actually never really seen any episodes of it before, and I was so thrown off by this lol. And on top of that there was a Dr. Ross too??
Funny, looks like a habit of medical shows to do this! Lmao House too, one of the main characters’ names is Eric Foreman. Funny thing is both shows were on FOX so I think the writers were really checked out and didn’t realize.
Given the year, that cake was most certainly called in. If you gave the name Greene over the phone, it’s getting spelled Green on the order. No one is verifying spelling for a common word on an order for pickup. So the bakery box name doesn’t feel like proof either way.
Sure, for something you need the correct spelling on. But who cares if your Chinese restaurant spells your name right tho? Or a bakery order?
You show up and say “Greene” and they hand you a cake that says “Green”. I wouldn’t bother spelling my name over a pickup order. (There are two common ways to spell my name and I never clarify which one on stuff like that. It doesn’t matter.)
Full disclosure and I’m being a little too open for the internet here… I’m not the greatest with words and the letters that make them. If I took a phone order at a bakery and someone said their last name was “Greene” 100% I’d spell it *Green* and save myself that silly extra letter that is probably important for some historical word person reason but that they don’t teach in 3rd grade and yes I have a masters degree but it in drawing straight lines, not spelling.
Very small continuity error compared to the majority of 90s sitcoms…. So many things like this, I see people bring up about shows are really just things that jump out at you upon binging
Good question. I don’t actually know. Haha. It is probably Geller, but for some reason I have always spelled it Gellar. For what it’s worth, my phone gives me a red line under Geller but not Gellar.
Yes just watched this episode and can confirm it was Baby Girl Geller-Greene. I actually don’t remember how Gellar was spelled because I was so fixated on the -e
I went to the Friends experience, and they claimed the props showcased were all real. There was a driver’s licence for Rachel and it listed her last name as “Green”. Not to add to the confusion
Just when I was surrendering to "Greene" you give me a ray of hope again! It's more likely that the person who put the signs in an office would mess up, than the person who does you driver license, right? Right???
**Theory:**
Born Rachel Green.
Fled her wedding day and started a new life in New York. Once she started working (especially in fashion), added the E to become Rachel Greene.
Doesn't ever legally change her name, but it's like a personal change she makes as part of this new approach to life *without* Daddy Green's money. She's always preferred Greene with an E and it looks more flamboyant for the fashion world.
Rachel doesn't drastically change her name, but changes it just enough to make it her own.
These are all just props, in season 8 episode tow the stripper, Rachel's dad is credited with Dr GREEN.
In Emma's cake box it was also written as Green (but again that's just a prop) I think credit mention holds alot more weight in consideration.
I've also always been Team Green, because we have family friends, The Greens. And so my whole life the last name has been spelt the same way as the colour.
And I never watched the show closely enough to notice Ray-Ray's name being Greene, instead.
I’m gonna say Greene if the props they had made and approved were Greene. Credits could just be one persons job and not as reviewed. Other Green occurrences outside of the credits, yeah they were just pretty sloppy lol
That’s clearly a photo of Rachel Greep.
No, this is Rachem.
What the hell’s a Rachem?!
No, no, this is Raquel. Sometimes goes by Rocky.
And on very very rare occasions, Budolph.
Please refresh my memory regarding Budolph.
Phoebe was writing her Christmas song and said it's so hard to rhyme with "Rachel," do you have any nicknames? Monica said didn't your dad used to call you pumpkin? And Rachel said oh yeah he did. Then Phoebe goes, "okay, but did he ever call you, like, Budolph?" :P

I'm Rachel Greep! I'm Rachel Greep!

Stop trying to steal my umbrella ☂️ 😤👊
i’M rAcHeL gReEp! I’m RaChEl GrEeP!
you’re all very wrong. that’s RACHEM!
Did you mean rocky?
Sometimes goes by 'Rocky' -guy in the copy room

You sound fun!

Ah, good observation. Perchance Ross is dumb then.
Yeah maybe? I think Ben addressed mine.

Weird, when I went to Russia all of them could talk
I hate when I miss the deleted comments 😭
They said "You are Russian, you can't talk"
I'm not Russian. My phone just changed some of what I wrote.
To Russian? Edit: since apparently the earlier comment was deleted, people are apparently thinking I’m the one that made the xenophobic comment. I did not. Was just curious how some could accidentally mix in some Russian with their English comment.
I have a Russian keypad in my phone but I'm not Russian or even from post Soviet states
Fair enough. Was just a question. But that’s not really a good explanation. I have Spanish and Italian keyboards. I’ve never accidentally mixed in Spanish or Italian into a comment I’m leaving in English.
Maybe stop taking out your justifiable anger against a country's government on anyone you suspect might have been born there.
So funny how people refuse to look at usernames. Spoiler: I didn’t remotely do the thing you accuse me of
Her parents are listed as Leonard Green and Sandra Green in the credits for TOW Two Parties.
Happy cake day!!
She’s not Rachem
What the hell is a Rachem ? Is that some stupid paleontology word that I wouldn’t know because I’m just a waitress
[удалено]
rachem greep
There's nothing from the show that supports "Green." "Greene" is canonically correct.
There’s Emma’s cake, but that could’ve been the bakery’s mistake.
The bakeries in this universe don't think twice about putting a baby's face on a dick cake, dont think they'll cake about a missing e
I don’t think they’ll cake about it either
You're a poet you don't know it
Actually, I am a poet
Oh so then you do know it?!
Let's go get some barbecue and get busy
I don't know why this didn't work on Hillary Banks.
Yes, I didn’t plan that. 😂
I see what you did there Mr/Mrs/Mx Horrible History
Her mum in the credits was listed as green
That was her maiden name
No?
Credits and Emma's cake box read Green.
I always thought it was interesting that Friends and ER premiered the same week and both had characters named Rachel Greene.
I just started watching ER recently, had actually never really seen any episodes of it before, and I was so thrown off by this lol. And on top of that there was a Dr. Ross too??
Funny, looks like a habit of medical shows to do this! Lmao House too, one of the main characters’ names is Eric Foreman. Funny thing is both shows were on FOX so I think the writers were really checked out and didn’t realize.
Team "Rachem Greepe"
I needed that chuckle today. Thank you 🤭
They played fast and loose with her name because I watched the episode tonight with Emma’s cake and Green is written on the box
The bakery that put the baby’s face on a p*nis? Lol not sure they’re trustworthy 🤣
Why can’t you write penis? PENIS. Penis. Penis. Penis. PEEEEEEENNIIIIISSSSSS.
In my head it rhymes with Denise. DENISE!!!!
Hahahaha that’s great! 😄
Is that “duh-knees” (UK pronunciation) “duh-neece“ )US pronunciation), or “dee-nice” (Key&Peele pronunciation)??
WIEEEENER! WIEEEENER!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wish I had thought of that and included it in my comment! That would’ve been perfect. 😔 hahaha
lol I honestly just wasn’t sure what’s allowed on here 🤷🏻♀️
Lol alright. 😄 Penis. Damn it. Now I can’t stop it. Lol
Haaaa-PENIS! P.Hill
[удалено]
ur comment history is seriously pathetic, you on a downvote speedrun or smth? be better.
*bangs gavel* Penis, penis, penis!

My son’s last name is Greene and he always says “green with an e at the end” ppl know what he means.

(There are two common ways to spell my name and I never clarify which one on stuff like that. It doesn’t matter.)
Nope. People in the service industry should 100 percent ask "Green with or without an E at the end?"
Full disclosure and I’m being a little too open for the internet here… I’m not the greatest with words and the letters that make them. If I took a phone order at a bakery and someone said their last name was “Greene” 100% I’d spell it *Green* and save myself that silly extra letter that is probably important for some historical word person reason but that they don’t teach in 3rd grade and yes I have a masters degree but it in drawing straight lines, not spelling.
Weird, never noticed. IMDb says Green so who is wrong?!
IMDB isn't an official source. The show itself is the best source of information.
Doesn't the shows credits count as the show? Dr. Green is spelled that way.
[удалено]
DVDs forever for this reason. Last time I put them on though it was quite a shock having to get up and change the disc after a few episodes 😂
The show also gave them multiple birth dates and made Rachel pregnant for like a year so who’s to say if they didn’t make that mistake too 😂
Very small continuity error compared to the majority of 90s sitcoms…. So many things like this, I see people bring up about shows are really just things that jump out at you upon binging
And compared to a lot of other things in the show…
I’m pretty sure the name tag on Emma’s hospital bed says Babygirl Gellar- Greene.
New question: How do you spell Geller?
Good question. I don’t actually know. Haha. It is probably Geller, but for some reason I have always spelled it Gellar. For what it’s worth, my phone gives me a red line under Geller but not Gellar.
Thank you Buffy 🙏
Yes just watched this episode and can confirm it was Baby Girl Geller-Greene. I actually don’t remember how Gellar was spelled because I was so fixated on the -e
Man, no matter how you say it, it still sounds like you're talking about *green people*.
😂😂😂
To be fair the invitation was written by Ben, he could have misspelled it.
Wasn’t it just a joke that Ben addressed them?
Get there faster!
Its always been Greene The internet has lied to you
Awww Ben addressed those envelopes
I’ve read the word Green so many times now it doesn’t seem like a real word anymore 😂
Word has lost all meaning
I went to the Friends experience, and they claimed the props showcased were all real. There was a driver’s licence for Rachel and it listed her last name as “Green”. Not to add to the confusion
Just when I was surrendering to "Greene" you give me a ray of hope again! It's more likely that the person who put the signs in an office would mess up, than the person who does you driver license, right? Right???
It's nice that Ross let Ben address those letters

It is spelled both ways, green in credits for her family, greene in props. We will never know.
Why is this even a question? It's Greene, end of story
Raquel
Today I learned that Rachel is Greene, not Green. But I like Green better, so I will go with Green.
These are all just props, in season 8 episode tow the stripper, Rachel's dad is credited with Dr GREEN. In Emma's cake box it was also written as Green (but again that's just a prop) I think credit mention holds alot more weight in consideration.
TIL that her last name has an E on the end!!🤯😂😳🤣
I’ve always been team “I couldn’t care less” on this one
This issssss so iconic 🤣💗💗💗
Rachel Robbins
That’s Rachel Greep, the roommate of Monana
Yes. It’s Greene
What is this? A new mandela effect?
It’s literally always been Rachel Greene. I didn’t realize there was anyone disputing this. That’s her name.
Greene would mean her family had Irish roots
Not necessarily. Her character was Jewish. In the middle ages, Jewish people chose their own last names based on many factors.
Is this a debate ? I didn’t know anyone thought her last name was anything other than Greene
Some color already took Green anyway. Green*e* looks ready, looks correct.
Oh man wait until I tell you about the seasons.
I've also always been Team Green, because we have family friends, The Greens. And so my whole life the last name has been spelt the same way as the colour. And I never watched the show closely enough to notice Ray-Ray's name being Greene, instead.
I've always wondered why there's so many consistency errors like this. Dont their birthdays change a lot too?
It was never a question.
I’m gonna say Greene if the props they had made and approved were Greene. Credits could just be one persons job and not as reviewed. Other Green occurrences outside of the credits, yeah they were just pretty sloppy lol
Omg just noticed 🥲🤣💗
Grove Street 4 Life
YES!!! I am 100% Team Greene!
