[Opinions] Re: Rebecca
in reply to a message by Lily
What do you think of Rebecca?
It's okay... I love Rebekah. For some reason I feel like it has more charm than Rebecca. I was almost named Rebecca.
Do you know many? Do they go by their full name?
I know quite a few, just one Rebekah which is funny because she's not Jewish while I know a lot of Jewish Rebeccas. I don't think any of them go by their full names. Mostly Becki/Becca, no Reba. Some will go by both Becca and Rebecca though, depends.
Do you think it's possible to avoid Becky, Becca and Reba?
Probably, as long as they're introduced as Rebecca. My brother's girlfriend goes by Rebecca among my family members because that's what he called her at first. He now calls he Becca but Rebecca stuck with us.
Does it feel dated or still too common?
I haven't seen it with little kids, within the ten year age range of me though (13-23) I think it's pretty common.
Rebecca or Rebekah?
Rebekah!
