Hi! My name is Rebecca, and my close family call me Reba. I like it because it just cuts out the "ecca" of my full name. Some people call me Becca or Bec-Bec, but my last name starts with R, so without the alliteration I don't like it. Honestly, Becca just sounds kind of annoying. I don't like the letter B that much--I've been called Rebecca my whole life except for friends and family--so I'm not really used to anything else. :)
Also WHY is everyone saying Reba is a boy's name? It's short for Rebecca!

Short for biblical Hebrew Rivqka which means "to bind", (because of beauty). In Arabic, cardinal number four or fourthborn, also moon princess.
I love it, it's fun & strong.

This is my favorite nickname of Rebecca, but I still don't like it much.

Uhhhhh I don’t really like this name. I mean, I don’t get why someone would want their name to be “Reba”. It’s just kinda weird I guess. I mean, it’s not like I have the best name in the world either (my name is Aria), but I like mine a lot more than this. I agree if your name is Rebecca the best nickname would be Becka. I just don’t like Reba AT ALL. You know, it kinda reminds me of Rebel. Not my style.

Reba has a male origin. In the book of Numbers 31:8, there were five Midianite Kings that Moses and the Israelites killed. Reba was one of those five kings.

Terrific, fun name! I mean, sure, the first and only thing that jumps to mind will probably always be McEntire, but between her singing and TV/movie work, she's an absolutely awesome association.

I'm stuck with the name. It's amazing the people that can't pronounce it or even spell it!

At first I didn't like this name... I thought it was unusual. But it has really grown on me, very much so. I really like it now.

The only nickname I like out of Rebecca is Becka. I don't really like the sound of Becky, Rebbie is absolutely awful, and Reba here is ridiculous. What sort of a ditzy country girl name is this supposed to be?

This is my name and I think it is great. There is never anyone else in the room with the same name.

The only real famous bearer of this name is none other than country music legend Reba McEntire. At first I thought her real name was Rebecca, but it turns out it's just plain ol' Reba. I LOVE her sitcom, which, ironically, is called Reba. I think this name fits Miss McEntire very well, a soft name that has a little spunk to it. You know, as in her soft blue eyes and her fiery red hair?

Edit: it's pronounced ree-bah? I thought it was reh-bah. Still sounds like kind of like fish though.
