It is my name and I love it, but it is dated in my opinion. I was named Rebecca as it declined in popularity. I prefer it spelled Rebecca, but I'm biased.

In response to Becky becoming a joke of a name, it's true. I can't tell you how much I've heard, "Oh my God, Becky, look at her butt," over the course of my life. Because the song has become somewhat iconic if only for how outrageous it is, and given it's resurrection with Nicki Minaj, no one has forgotten that line. It's a name for the stereotypical white valley girl.

There are other songs that have turned Becky into a less than flattering moniker. One referred to Becky as a sex act, and Beyonce's line, "Call Becky with the good hair," has started a whole new line of jokes people like to toss my way.

Stick with Rebecca, in my opinion! :)
