[Opinions] Rebecca
I used to like this name, but now I think it's dull as dishwater. WDYT? Do you like Becky/Becca?

Dull
I think it's pretty, but it needs to be retired.

I prefer Rebekkah, I find it's more aesthetically pleasing to me and I prefer Bekka over Becky. I also GP like Bex as a nickname.
Rebecca is a very nice name, one I like well enough to consider using it. Don't care for Becca and Becky, too babyish.
Every Rebecca I know is a great person and I can’t help loving the name because of them. I’m so biased!
It's always been one of my favorite names. I still love it. But while I wouldn't say it's dull as dishwater, I do think that its former popularity has taken some of the shine off of it. Its popularity at the time I had my daughter was a major reason that I didn't use it, and I have no regrets that I didn't. My daughter goes further and says she's glad that I didn't.

It's one of the "classics" I used to dismiss but have come to appreciate recently. The sound is lovely; however, going by the full name all the time would become very pretentious, very quickly, so a nickname is inevitable. And of those, the only one I like of the "established" nicknames is Becca - Becky is decent but bogged down in memes, and Reba is just terrible (McEntire not withstanding).
I think Bex might be a cool, unconventional nickname, though. Or Rebel!

Most Rebeccas I've known have gone by the whole name. It doesn't sound pretentious to me in the least. Rebecca is totally down to earth to me. I love it. I hate Becky and dislike Becca. Reba should be retired permanently. Yuck.
This.
I have a neice named Rebecca and she doesn't go by a nickname.

I'm the reverse. I used to find it dull as dishwater and lately I'm starting to like it. I only like it in full, though. No nicknames.
Yes it's lovely and love the nicknames
