Help[Opinions] Re: Rachel or Rebecca? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I have very different impressions of Rachel and Rebecca although both are fairly down to earth.
The Rachel's I've known have all been feisty speak their mind ladies or sarcastic wise-asses like my favorite cousin. Rachel has a sexy spunky edge like Veronica and Zoe while Rebecca is one of the least sexy names I can think of. Rebecca is cute in a plain way with a face full of freckles, light to medium brown hair, and blue, brown or hazel eyes.
Rebecca's I've known are book nerds who passionately pursue their educational passions and one popular girl I didn't know very well who seemed nice.
A less common nn for Rebecca could be Bebe. Becky, Becca, and Reba are other more common nn's.
Rebecca nn Becky or Becca always seemed like the name I'd use in a historical fiction piece for a frontier girl, that's the image I have of Rebecca. The popular Rebecca I knew was best friends with a girl named Charlotte who was the first one I ever met. After that I always thought that Charlotte or Caroline would be a good sibling for a Rebecca. Sarah, Abigail, Laura, or Elizabeth would also work well as a sibling. My frontier protagonist would have a pet cow or lamb and would love reading books sitting in fields full of flowers or under trees near brooks.
As far as which I would choose I am not certain, I prefer the image I have of Rachel but prefer the sound of Rebecca. I guess by default Rebecca since my cousin is named Rachel so I wouldn't use her name as a fn only possibly a mn.

Favorite Names:
