Re: Rebecca
in reply to a message by Billina
It's one of the "classics" I used to dismiss but have come to appreciate recently. The sound is lovely; however, going by the full name all the time would become very pretentious, very quickly, so a nickname is inevitable. And of those, the only one I like of the "established" nicknames is Becca - Becky is decent but bogged down in memes, and Reba is just terrible (McEntire not withstanding).
I think Bex might be a cool, unconventional nickname, though. Or Rebel!

Most Rebeccas I've known have gone by the whole name. It doesn't sound pretentious to me in the least. Rebecca is totally down to earth to me. I love it. I hate Becky and dislike Becca. Reba should be retired permanently. Yuck.
This.
I have a neice named Rebecca and she doesn't go by a nickname.
