Re: Rivka
in reply to a message by vigdis
I was raised with a strong religious, Catholic background yet I am not religious; I always wanted to be religious but I have no faith - and I've never had it.
This may be unusual for someone without faith, but I actually like religious heritage - and for people to have it as an influential attribute or peaceful calm or even regulating culture within their lives.
I love names with heritage - and I think this is a great name due its cultural and even religious heritage - but for anyone (girl), not necessarily or specifically Jewish, Catholic, or even religious or not.
The "ka" suffix is used in Russian to soften first names - male or female; so I'd have no problem if this name were used for a boy or a girl.
