[Opinions] Re: Rebecca
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Rebecca, but I wouldn't use it.
I know of 5 Rebecca's, including my sister (Rebecca Joy).
I think it is possible to avoid Becky, Becca and Reba, although I jokingly call my sister Reba and she goes by Becca. The other Rebecca's I know go by Rebecca. If you don't call her any of those nn's and introduce her as Rebecca I don't think those nn's will come up.
It doesn't feel dated. I think of a biblical name that will never grow old.
Definitely Rebecca over Rebekah.
