Re: Rachel or Rebecca? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I've fallen in love with Rebecca recently. I love the nn Becca. The image I get from Rebecca is a very sweet, caring and wholesome one -- Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, anyone? I could picture myself using Rebecca as a mn.
I've never really cared for Rachel due to its harsh sound. The Raych sound is really grating to me. I even prefer Raquel to Rachel. My impression: intelligent, quirky, artistic, upper middle class.
Overall, Rebecca feels a tad less dated to me although Becky feels quite dated.
