HelpRe: Rachel or Rebecca? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Probably Rachel, if I were choosing for myself or my daughter.
I think Rebecca is a more attractive name to read, and has a spiffier, more idealized mental image associated. But spoken aloud, and applied to real people, it's not really more attractive or spiffier. It's nice, but it's also prissier and more brittle compared to Rachel.
Rachel is more familiar to me, and seems friendlier, it's easier for me to picture it suiting almost any woman or girl of any age in any role - Rebecca seems particular, in comparison.
