Rebecca

The name Rebecca gives me cottagecore vibes tbh.

Though this is a rather common name, I’m so grateful to have it! Growing up I always liked it but didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now because the few other Rebecca’s I knew didn’t vibe with me. I didn’t know of a lot of great people with the name.

---

However, it’s one of the best gifts my mother ever gave me. The spelling is so pretty visually and I love the letter R (though some fonts botch up this pretty letter and make it ugly in my opinion). The letter R is also an interesting letter to write. I find myself writing my R’s with so many variations. It’s not like the straight line only letters such as N or I or L. The round head and little leg give it so much room to be written creatively.

---

I never let my parents call me Becky too much past age 3 and generally preferred Becca or Bex.

---

Overall it’s such a modest yet gorgeous, rich and classy name. Not super modest like Beth, Patty, Pam (yuck, sorry!) or Ann… yet not flaunty and formal like Arianna or Selena.

---

Rebecca is definitely a very special name in my opinion. Thanks a lot, mom!

Three middle names that I personally think go well with Rebecca are:

---

Rebecca May Rebecca Sophie and Rebecca Lily.

This name always makes me think of 'red pepper'.

I like it, a simple and pretty name that I highly doubt any girl with this name would get bullied so if you want to name your little daughter Rebecca then go for it and also it's way better and prettier than the spelling Rebeckah.

Rebecca is cute. There are so many ways to spell it but this is my favorite.

My name is Rebecca and I like it. My last name also starts with R (so my initials are RMR which I LOVE!) However, my name's only flaw is that there are so many different ways to spell it, and I get SO offended when they're like, "I'm not even going to TRY to spell your name." Like, HELLO? Learn how to spell it, people!

---

EVERYONE is complaining that there are no good nicknames for Rebecca that start with R, but my close family call me Reba. I like it. Bex sounds too tomboyish to me, plus I think Rebecca is sophisticated and I don't like to be that casual... Je suis 80% French, so I must be formal! Rebecca isn't even a French name and I'm not even Hebrew, I'm Christian (I don't know if that was appropriate to say, every religion is awesome, even if you don't have one) and I just don't feel like there are any Christian Rebeccas. If you are a Christian Rebecca, you probably go by Becca. Reba seems cool. My friends call me whatever they feel like, and I'm okay with that AS LONG AS IT'S NOT BECKY! Honestly, I don't care if people call me Becca, but I just don't like to see it in writing.

---

Rebecca is a gorgeous and royal name, and names like Rebecca and Elizabeth always have SO MANY nicknames! Guys, don't fret about your name--it's YOU that matters!

---

Of course, if you're named Lafreaksha then you need a really good nickname like Shea or something.

My name is Rebecca and I generally like it! It strikes a nice balance of common and unusual. Plenty of nicknames, though the coolest one in my opinion is Bex. Although there are multiple spellings, most people are familiar with this one so they don't mess it up it as often. My only issue is that I don't like writing it in cursive! The two Cs next to each other have always annoyed me.

Rebecca is a nice name.

Absolutely gorgeous. Rebecca is a beautiful name it's very kind, lovely and sweet ❤️❤️.

I don't love it nor do I hate it. I am rather indifferent to the name. Granted the many Rebecca's I grew up with seemed to be stuck up and I am not really big on most of the nickname, Becky especially sounds too childish. But the full fledged out Rebecca sounds pretty. So I guess I have a love/hate relationship with this name.

I had a lot of negative associations with ladies named Rebecca. However, there was one that was a customer who went by Becky and she was a sweetheart. Rebecca reminds me of a mom. It's too dated for me to use, but it sounds great as a middle name.

So cute and lovely! I prefer this over the Rebekah variant, which I dislike!

Not bad. Too childish in my opinion. I can't picture a 50 year old with this name.

This is cute! I like this spelling the best. I would use the nickname Becca.

This name always makes me way too enthusiastic with how pretty it soooooo is.

Very classy.

I am a girly girl and I love my name. It is very beautiful!

Love it! It is my name and a super duper beautiful name!

Lovely.

Rebecca is a cute and strong name. Rebecca was a person in the bible, and I like the way it sounds.

Good! Rebecca is a good name! Has a strong sound, but feminine! Just a good quality name!

Wonderful!

Pretty, but I know too many people named Rebecca.

I like it. Not bad.

Elegant name. I love it!

Most beautiful name. For a beautiful woman.

My name is Rebecca and the only thing I dislike about the name is the biblical association. As an atheist I'm tired of people complimenting my name because it is biblical. I do like the name and think it is beautiful, but there is more to my name, and me, than a reference old book. I see a lot of religious people take pride in the biblical reference and that's fine, but I'm honestly sick of it.

This is a really nice name. It's simple, feminine and Biblical. I know a girl named Rebecca and she is truly one of the nicest people I know, and has hands-down the best smile of anyone I have ever met.

This is my name and I love it. Despite its apparent popularity when I was born I’ve only met a couple of others. I get called Bec by my parents and Rebecca by everyone else and it’s been this way since childhood. A classic name that I’m sure will see a revival again at some point.

Lovely classic name, and I like Becky or Becca for short. I actually prefer this spelt Rebekah though.

I like the nickname Becky, maybe that's just me? I'd call my Rebecca "Becky" when she was little and Rebecca when she gets older. However, if she doesn't like it then I won't call her Becky.

Very pretty. This was a very popular name in the 2000's, which I really love. It looks pretty on paper, and suits anyone.

See personally I like the name, however, I have some problems with it. It's a beautiful name but it needs a nickname. I never liked the nickname Becky so my parents went with Beca (yes with one c) but now that I'm older I don't enjoy that nickname. It's good for kids but once you become a teenager the nickname just doesn't feel right. I never changed my nickname cause I didn't want to go through the hassle but be careful when choosing a nickname for a Rebecca. Maybe something that sounds more mature like Bee or Bex or something like that. And, this goes for any name, if your kid wants to change their nickname just let them.

My name is Rebecca Diane. I grew up a tomboy with the nickname Becky. I always felt Rebecca was too beautiful of a name for me. At the age of 29 I met the man who is now my husband, who from the day he met me called me Rebecca.
I grew up in a Christian home and had veered away from the Lord. I had began to seek the Lord at the time that I met my husband. And God led me to understand he saw me as beautiful and that I was worthy of my name. Today I am Rebecca Diane, faithful servant of God.

My name is Rebecca and I have hated it all my life. It is so common, bland and sad sounding. An old ladies name. Friends call me Becky.
Now that both my parents are dead I am seriously thinking about going to court and having my name changed. I believe it would help my self esteem.

Beautiful, classy name.

This is my name and I love it. My grandad called me Becky and my parents call me Bec but I’m Rebecca to everyone else. For me nicknames are for my family only. I always preferred Bec to Becky as I’m now in my 30s and think that Becky sounds quite young.

I love this name. It's so beautiful. I'll definitely consider naming my daughter Rebecca. It is also my mother's name.

If I had this name, I personally would have gone by it in full or the nickname Rebel, I dislike Becca and Reba. Maybe Becky as an inside joke with friends and family would be okay.

Pretty old fashioned, common in the 1900s. But I like it although the only nicknames are practically Reba and Becca. It’s still a fine name!

This is my name and ever since I was little I've been nicknamed Bex, Becca or Bec. Hate being called Becky.

I do believe the name Rebecca is a very powerful name. Leader, strong, beautiful always with a very beautiful personality to go with her undoubtedly beautiful features. Read your history on such a beautiful passionate name of pure beauty.

“Hi, what’s your name?”
“I’m Becca”
“Ok, hi Becky!”

---

-every single encounter I have ever had as a bearer of the name.

Love it. A beautiful strong name.

I might be the only person who actually loves the nicknames for Rebecca. Becky is adorable for a little girl and Becca when she grows up. Perhaps it’s because where I come from you rarely encounter the name. I’m in my 30’s and only met a Rebecca recently.

Love the nickname Becca. Hate the nickname Becky.

Reminds me of an old time school marm, as teachers were once called. Or a fanatical religious teacher. Harsh, grating, ugly sound.

I have known several girls named Rebecca (or Rebekah) and I think it's a lovely name. Rebekah looks more biblical, but Rebecca looks prettier, in my opinion. My favourite nicknames are Becca and Becky. So cute! One of my own nicknames (I was called it more often as a very little girl) is Becky, invented by my little sister, even though my name isn't Rebecca or Rebekah.

Rea is a nice nickname for Rebecca.

When I see this name I think of beauty. Such a beautiful name. I wish it was my name.

Love this name. So beautiful.

Okay, so reading all these comments got me thinking about nicknames, Rebecca is a beautiful name but lots of people hate the nickname Becky or Becca, but my BFF is called Rebecca and she had the same problem with the nicknames. Her mother gave her a nickname, the nickname was “Rebby” that I though was kinda cool she sometimes gets called Rebs, LOL!

---

It’s a beautiful name and when I was in primary school there was a teacher called Rebecca and she was THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
Love the name.

I don’t see why people have a problem with the nicknames though. I like Becky or Becca.

I love this name. Makes me think of a beautiful, elegant woman.

It's a very harsh sounding name. Becca and Becky are unpleasant to my ears as well.

Awful name.

Rebecca is a classic name. Where I live it isn’t very common. I named my second born daughter Rebecca, it was the only name my husband and I could agree upon. I’ve gotten many compliments on her name, especially paired with her second name.

I know a Rebecca and she loves her name.

Rebecca is a really pretty name for a girl. Also, I like the usual nick names for it too. If this were my name I would be very happy.

I saw someone was nicknamed Rutabaga. Me too! I thought I was the only one!

Rebecca was going to be my name if I was a girl, according to my parents. Personally, I really like this name. If I have a daughter, I might name her this.

I'm really surprised to see so many negative comments about this name. I think Rebecca is a very pretty name. If it were my name I would not like people calling me the usual nicknames. I would only go by Rebecca as it is a very nice name.

I really don't like this name at all. I dislike the sound of this, it sounds bland and common, and the names Becca and Becky aren't any better.

Rebecca and its diminutives, particularly "Becky" have become synonymous with white privilege among the African American community. So, it's not a very fun name to have. I never really liked it anyway.

My name is actually Rebecca, and I would like to share my opinion on this name based on experience. I do think this name can sound pretty, but it's not a name I like or would call someone else. It is a bit bland but can be spiced up a bit when paired with a nice middle name. The nicknames, Becky and Becca are not very flattering. The majority of people also misspell it which can be very aggravating. Rebecca is also a very common name which can make it boring.

My name is Rebecca and I love it. For the most part, I go by "Rebecca" the majority of the time and always introduce myself as "Rebecca" because that is the name I prefer. My family struggle the most to call me my whole name because I changed from "Becky" to "Rebecca" in the 7th grade. I have discovered that people try to shorten it when they meet me, and unless I correct them right away they continue to use a diminutive form. Long story short, the many nicknames I've been given include: Becky, Becca, Bex, Bereikah (burr-ee-kah), Rebz, and Reba.

It's an alright name I guess. Not really a huge fan of how it sounds, but it's still usable.

I think this is an OK name, not one I'd personally use because it sounds a bit plain and grandma-ish, but not terrible,

Honestly I can't stand this name. It's just so bland and common, and it just sounds too Jewish for my taste.

We chose Rebeca for my baby girl. It's the Spanish spelling and a family name. I love the single "c" Spanish spelling but I'm sure it will provide a lifetime of her having to correct people on the spelling. We do call her Beca for short but use both her full name and short in equal. She's a character and certainly "captivating". An artist, a goof-ball, an independent little girl. Has my heart!

My name is Rebecca. I go by Becky and have a large variety of nicknames. The Rebeccas I've met are stuck up and materialistic. The Beckys I've met are friendly and cautious (I meet this description- though most would use the word 'shy', which I'm not). The Beccas are usually naive and stubborn. I haven't met anyone who has a different variation of the spelling that I'm aware of, but then I don't go around asking Becks of the world to spell their name for me.

This name is too common, and sounds really ugly.

Pretty, but boring. I don't find this name to stand out at all, and it instead feels like the name of a person who always blends into the crowd. I'm not big on any of the nicknames, either.

My name is Rebecca and I love it, it's not too common but it's not too obscure either. For nicknames I get called Bec or Becca amongst others unrelated to my name. I've always thought it meant captivating or to bring together, I also like that it originates from Hebrew.

My real name is Rebecca, but everybody calls me Becky. I like Becky better than Rebecca or Becca.

Very, very common name where I am from. All the Rebecca/Rebekah's I know seem to insist on being called Bec or Bex, and seem to think that sounds cooler. I think the nickname sounds a bit try-hardish and Rebecca as a name sounds a bit harsh. Also a bit Country-and-Western-y.

My name is Rebecca and I like the name a lot. I'm proud that it means cow because I like cows.

My name is Rebecca. I went by Becca most of my life, despising the name Becky. I always felt that it was way to cutesy. For many years I wanted to change my name but alas I have grown to love being called Rebecca. It feels powerful and beautiful. I have friends and family who call me "Becca", "the Bexter" and "Rebie" all of which I like very much. This is a great, if a little overused, name. Wear it proudly.

So many angsty teens hating their own name! Rebecca is my name and I love it. It's feminine, yet professional and classic. It can be shortened to so many nicknames which I like but I go by the full name because it sounds the most elegant. It's a family name so I love that it had special meaning too.

I have never had a problem with the name Rebecca. I think this name is a beautiful classic. (:

I named my daughter Rebecca although in my original country is spelled with one C. I spelled it the American way with 2 C's. I think the name fits her perfectly. She is kind, sweet, smart, helpful and beautiful. Her name means the one who unites and she is just that. She is simply the most perfect little girl and I love this name! I call her Becca but everyone else calls her Rebecca because she likes it that way, and because she loves her name!

Rebecca always seems to be a confident and popular girl.
It is quite a nice name. Sometimes it seems like just a common name and other times I think it's lovely.

It's a pretty name with some lovely meanings to it, like enchanting or captivating. But snare? Kind of stupid, it's like meaning cat basket or bird cage.

My name is Rebecca. *spoiler*, I love it. The only thing I'm not so fond of is how common it is. It's not unbearable though, I don't hear it all the time anymore. I'm never really called Rebecca, I'm either Bec or Becky to most people. Depends on their preference really. I can't stand Becca or Bex. One girl calls me Bex but has for so long that it doesn't bother me, but I've never let Becca slide ahahha. I'm happy with my name as Bec is tomboyish but flirty and Becky is quirky. I think so at least. Thank-you for this name :)

I am named Rebecca. To me, it's old, overused and opens up to too many cliche nick names. I have been called Rutabaga, Becky, Becca, Becker, Becca-Jean and other names I prefer not to mention. Even though I was called "Becky" in school, I despise being called that and correct others when they do and ask to just be called "Rebecca". Sadly, some of the pets names have stuck with me and I often find myself asking to be called just "Rebecca" which makes me look like I am being mean when I correct them. I am not going to say I "hate" the name, but it just isn't me and doesn't represent my personality at all, especially with all the nicknames people seem to use for it.

I think Rebecca is a beautiful name. I love the versatility of this name. I do like the nickname Becky better than Becca, however I think they're both great. Becky seems a bit more substantial to me and it has a sweet ring to it. LOVE the nickname Beck too. I like how people have such different opinions about names. It helps keep things interesting. I do think it's important to be respectful about it though. It's disheartening to hear so many people be so mean about it. It's just not constructive. Thank you to everyone who shares their thoughts in a polite and tactful way!

I love the name, I think it is really pretty and a good nickname could be Becca or Becky.

I've never been overly fond of my name, but I do like the spelling: Rebekka. No one calls me Rebekka though; I've always been Becki. I think it's plain and boring, but it's my name! What can I do? Changing it would just be weird and I would only spend the rest of my life reminding people of my "new" name. Besides, I don't dislike it THAT much. This is the first I've heard of it meaning "captivating" and I like that. Thank you to everyone who complimented the name; I think I like it a little better now. And for those who hate it: there are names some of us really don't like and that's okay. But insults like "cheap", "bratty" or "old" aren't necessary and only reflect your maturity. Maybe you could share how your name- that thing we have no control over, by the way- is so much better?

My name's Rebecca, and while I've met curiously few others who share it, I just despise it. Granted, it's a goldmine for nicknames; I generally introduce myself as Becca, my dad calls me Bex or Bexter, the rest of my family calls me Rebecca, relatives call me Becky, and my friends call me Becca or Beckers. It's cool how versatile it is, but I really just hate the way it sounds. I find it guttural and awkward-sounding and if I had it my way, I'd either trim it down to just Bec/Bex or have it legally changed.

---

Not a fan of this name at all.

My name is Rebecca, I have always been proud of this name as it means beautiful etc... But I prefer it to be spelt "Rebekah" because it sounds prettier. To round off, I would say it is a charming name.

My name is Rebecca. I never really liked it that much when I was a child but as I got older I prefer it. My parents called me Becky straight away and it stuck but I changed the spelling to Becci about 10 years ago as BecKY is too common. I would prefer if people called me Rebecca or Becca but it's too late to change now. Everyone calls me Becci, or Bec.

This name is a fairly good choice, either for a child or character, and is quite simple and has a nice ring to it.

I love this name! And I love all the variants of it, too. Rebekah, Rebeckah, whatever, I don't care, I love them all.
I'm writing a novel where one of the main characters has this name. :3.

I much prefer Rebekah. But this is still nice.

What is the big deal about spellings as long as it is easy to spell, common enough so that it is easily spelled and pronounced correctly, and does not have any negative social connotations?

Rebecca is a very sweet and pretty name, I like it. I used to prefer the "Rebekah" spelling, but now I like this one best.

I hate this name. I don't know why, but I just hate it. Keep in mind, I hate the name, not the people who have it! I've met so many Rebeccas and they ALL were really nice, but this name, I just HATE it!

This is such a gorgeous name! ♥

My name is Rebecca and I'm not a huge fan of it. Not a lot of people call me Rebecca, I get a lot of Becca's, Bec's and Bex's. Becky is absolutely off limits, hate it, never met a "Becky" I like. I feel like Becca is very immature and at 20 I'm starting to try to avoid being called Becca. There are unfortunately no good nicknames that start with R.

I love the name Rebecca! I have known several people named Rebecca although none are actually called Rebecca. They are Becca, Becky, or go by their other given name. All of these people are were born in the 1980s or earlier. I haven't heard of anyone naming a baby Rebecca in my area for a good long while. Might not be too popular to use for a newborn in my area anyway!

The only Rebecca that I've ever met goes by Becca. I think both Rebecca and Becca are pretty.

This is so common in my age group! Everyone I know called Rebecca - and that's a fair few - have shortened it with various spellings, including Becci, Bexx and Becca. It's a bit too common for my liking; I wouldn't give this name to a child.

Rebecca has always come across as such a bright and bubbly name to me. I have William Makepeace Thackeray's central character Rebecca in the novel Vanity Fair to thank for the name developing depth and more character in my mind.

This is my favorite Old Testament name. It's very beautiful. However, it's too common, and I don't like the nickname Becky. I especially don't like the association with the irritating Rebecca Romijn.

My name is Rebecca, which I like. However, since I've been called Becky all my life, I feel a little detached from the name. If I could go back in time, I'd prefer to have been called Becca. It seems like a more logical nickname for Rebecca than Becky. I think Rebecca and Becca have a softer, prettier sound than Becky.

I think this name is beautiful. It sounds very elegant. I don't know very many Rebeccas. It is pretty uncommon where I live.

I always thought this name was beautiful. But I can't stand the nickname Becky. I think the name is far prettier when you use the whole name "Rebecca" instead of shortening it.

I really love this name! Yes, it is rather common, but one of my best friends is Rebecca (we call her Becca). She isn't outgoing, but very popular among those who know her well. I also think the biblical spelling, Rebekah, is very pretty.

My younger sister's name. So pretty, and she is absolutely gorgeous. Its a good name if you want your child to be fair.

My sister's name is Rebecca. I think it's a lovely name, and while we call her Becky now, when she becomes a teenager she could maybe call herself Becca, a less childish nickname. I also know a girl in my church called Rebekah, but my sister's the only Rebecca in her whole year in school. Possible nicknames include Becky, Becks and Becca.

I think this name is quite strong and I suppose quite nice.

I love this name, my niece has it, but her mother spelt it Rehbeckah, it takes a little longer to write out but I personally think that it looks prettier.

I like this name and I think most Biblical names are good.

I myself am called Rebekah, and I prefer this spelling to Rebecca as it is less common (where I'm from anyway). I have noticed that everyone has said that it gets shortened to Becca or Becky. What about Bek/Bec? I think that is the more common shortening. Sure, when I was 5 people called me Becky, but people generally go straight for Bek. I have heard a few different meanings but mainly they are: "snare", "captivating", "to tie" or "bound". Rebekah is the original spelling, from the Bible. As to those who are called Rebecca/Rebekah and say they hate their name, shame on you! I love my name, and no, it is not "cheap"!

I myself am a Rebecca and though I have met many other Rebeccas I don't hate my name. I do hate it when people call me Becky. Everyone called me Becky when I was little now the only one who calls me Becky is my mom. Most people call me Rebecca or Becca, although all of my older sibling have given me all kinds of nicknames Bexter, Bepsy, Beckers, da Beck, Becca boo, Becca bird, the list goes on and on. There are three Rebeccas in my drama group but we each go by something different Becky, Becca, and Rebecca (I'm Rebecca). But I mean it's not a huge deal, all of my siblings have common names, at least I don't have it as bad as my sister Sara, you can't really make any nicknames with that name. Overall Rebecca is a pretty name and you can come up with a lot of nicknames for it. I think Rebecca sounds kind of sophisticated. But for now being a twelve year old girl I can go by Becca wich sound fun and cute unlike Becky which either sounds like a little bratty girl or an old woman.

Rebecca is OK but what I can't bear is the nickname Becca. Don't know why, I just hate it. I really like the nickname Becky, it sounds upbeat and cute, but I hate when people spell it 'Becci' or 'Bekki'. *shudder*.

It's not a bad name, but it's not exactly one of the prettiest names out there, so I don't quite understand its popularity. It's overused, and the nickname is often, unfortunately enough, Becky. It sounds tremendously girly and cutesy without actually being pretty at all. It would be better if they went by Becka. I suppose this name is safe enough, and it shouldn't lead to bullying or discrimination, but it is a dull choice, alright.

My experience with girls named Rebecca and the show "Sex and the City" totally ruined this name for me (The Rebecca and Schooner thing is all I can think of when I hear this name).

I like the name Rebecca because it is strong and independent but still sweet and graceful. I don't know many people with this name. I like the nickname Becca (the one I know goes by this), but not Becky. Rebecca is good without a nickname though. It's not too long.

My name's Rebecca and I hate it. There are 5 of us in our grade and after a while it gets real old, turning around whenever someone calls it out. Personally, I wish my parents had named me something more oiginal.

Nice name. It reminds me of the Hitchcock's movie but still, it's a classy, gorgeous name for girls.

Rebecca has always been one of my favorite names. It was the name I had chosen for a daughter until I hit upon one I liked a little more and was less common. If I'd ever had a second daughter, though, this would have been her name. I had one older family member who did not keep up with naming trends state that it was "very Jewish." I never was able to convince her that Rebecca is no longer strictly a Jewish name.

I would use Reba as a nickname because it is less common. That and Reba sounds more mature than Becky or Becca.

My name is Rebecca and I love my name but I only like being called Becky because I grew up being called that ever since I got in 7th grade I had teachers calling me Rebecca and my friends calling me Becky. One of my friends' names is Rebecca but she goes by Becca so I always have people calling me Becca or Rebecky.

I like this name, but it's been used too much.

I myself am a Rebecca and I love my name. It's very elegant. Yes, it's rather hard for people to remember, so close friends call me Becca.

---

As far as the dislike of this particular spelling, I must say I partially disagree. I think it's far easier to spell it this way. It looks good to the eye; not as exotic as Rebekah, but I like the standard English spelling a lot.

---

One of the most interesting spellings I've seen is from one of my best friends (who happens to be in nearly ALL of my classes and we have last names that are barely 2 letters appart.) who spells her name "Rebekka". I thought it was a nice change up.

I think Rebecca is a very nice name. There was a book I read over and over when I was very little where the main character's name was Rebecca. I received the book as a gift about a year ago and have loved the name ever since.

Rebecca is a beautiful, wonderful name.

This name is old and cheap.

Rebecca is a pretty and classic name, even though snare is an ugly word.

I personally think 'snare' is kind of a cool meaning, for some reason I like it.

I spell my name Rebekah, so obviously I like the spelling better, it just really bothers me when "religious" people stare at me when I tell them it's the biblical spelling, really pick up a bible.

I don't like this name as I think it is very tomboyish! Rebecca is very popular where I live as a first and middle name, one of my best friends is a Rebecca but she does not like it that much so everyone calls her Bex.

This is such a beautiful name for a girl. No wonder it has been so popular through the years.

Rebecca is great name. Very pretty. Almost tomboyish but not really. It is a timeless classic.

REBECCA's always seem to be really popular and outgoing.

Well, my own name is Rebecca Nadine, and I...I do not want to say that I don't like it. I like it very much. But I hate the shorts I get everytime I tell my name. I don't want to be a "Beccy" or "Becca", because everyone named Rebecca gets this nicks. My favorite calling is "Becks" or even "Rebecks". I hope that no one reads this and does a movie with my name or something.

My name is Rebecca, I think this name is great. I also like being called Bex or Beccy (never BecKy). I prefer Beccy because it's different from all the Beckys I know.

This is my name, and I hate it. It's just so obscure.

I have a relative whose name is Rebecca, and she DESPISES being called that. She insists on being called Becca, and anyone who purposely calls her Rebecca must suffer dire consequences.

Rebecca makes me think of a woman who is cheerful, pretty, kind and ambitious.

I'm a Rebecca. I really like my name and think it's quite pretty, although too common within my age group!

Rebecca is my name and I think that it is perfect! It is nothing to be ashamed of, after all every name is beautiful if it is on the right person.

My name is Rebeccca, and I don't like the name very much, because since there are so many ways of spelling it, no one manages to spell my name right. My parents wanted a name that wasn't too common, perhaps it wasn't back then, but there are 3 Rebeccas in most of my classes.

My name's Rebecca. I've never been fond of the name, but you guys make me like it a little more, haha. I knew it was of Hebrew orgin, but I didn't know of all the pretty meanings.

Rebecca was actually derived from this Hebrew form: "Rebekah". I think "Rebecka" and "Rebekah" look prettier than the usual spelling: "Rebecca".
