REBECCA
Ooops, apparently it's not mentioned. If I remember well (I will ask my husband) Rivka means "well fed [like a young cow]" - remember that in traditional societies, being pleasantly plump was a great thing. Rachel was prefered to Lea because Lea was skinny, after all! ;)

My ? are Hillel, Meshullam, Johnny, Ginny, Cordelia, Fiammetta, Yocheved
My ~ are Tehila, Tilda, Hailey, Gillian, Huldah
My / are Aglaia and July
