Interestingly enough, when my mother wanted to name me Rebecca, my dad's side of the family was vehemently against it because my uncle was married to and divorced a Rebecca. They wanted something like Megan instead, and in the end I'm very happy my mom stuck to her gut. Growing up I never was judged by my family for my name and they never attempted to call me anything else-- they had to get over their reservations. They loved me dearly and I didn't even know about it until I became an adult.

Go with what you love and don't let other people ruin it for you.

Also, Miriam is gorgeous. I like it with Rebecca, too!
