Ann Rebecca

I'm so in love with this combo. I find Ann so sleek and appealing. Sensible, while also surprising. No bratty frills to be seen for miles. The name also appears on my family tree (sister to my ggg-grandmother Marion). I would use it.

My favourite spelling is Rebekah and I love Ann & Anne equally but I just adore Ann Rebecca, both in sound and spelling. One of my all time favourite combos is Ann Rachel.

Personally, I think it more sleek without the e.

Anne/Ann will always be one of the most boring names ever for me. I can't see it as sleek or anything just a whole lot of nothing.

Rebecca it's much nicer but it's been used heaps. I know three Rebeccas my ages. I love the nn Becca though :)

Edit: People are saying Rebecca Ann flows better. Is it my accent that makes this sound exactly the same as "Rebecca ran"???

I don't put an R between Rebecca and Ann, so it doesn't sound like "Rebecca ran" when I say it, but I still think the flow is bad because of the two vowel sounds together, even though the A at the end of Rebecca is pronounced differently than the A in Ann. It's just awkward.

Okay thanks!!
I thought it might just be my accent xD

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I'd prefer Anne with an "e." Without the "e" Ann looks like it's going to tip right over.

I do like Anne Rebecca, but I'm more in love with other Anne combos like Anne Louisa and Anne Sophie.

Nothing wrong with it. I don't find it at all interesting, but it's fine. To me, Ann is sensible and boring, not sensible and surprising. But that's just taste.

I like it, it's very pretty. Rebecca Ann is even prettier.

Ditto

I love Anne Rebecca. Ann looks so drab and incomplete.

I agree.
The head of our HR is named Ann, and she has mentioned several times that she wished she was Anne instead.

Though Rebecca Ann does flow better... I suggest Anne Rebecca - Anne is such a lovely first name,

Ann is as dull as a Congressional filibuster. Rebecca was overused, which to some degree makes it dull, as there are many Rebeccas out there, but it is still a lovely name, so I'd rather see Rebecca Ann, in spite of the flow problem there.

I think Rebecca Ann flows much better.

I think the problem is if you say "Rebecca Ann" just at a normal speed it sound exactly like "Rebecca ran"
