I really like the Rebecca. It's nice because it's a mix between a common and unique name. Plus, it has a lot of nicknames like Becca and Becky.

Rebecca Latimer Felton was the first woman to serve in the US Senate
The world Felton was born into in 1835 looked very different from the world she departed in 1930.
Rebecca Latimer was born to a well-to-do family Georgia family. One of her earliest memories was watching a portion of the Cherokee removal during the Trail of Tears in 1838. She was well-educated, graduating from Madison Female College in 1852.
In 1853, 18-year-old Rebecca Latimer married Dr. William Harrell Felton, a doctor, plantation owner, and member of the Georgia House of Representatives. As wealthy plantation owners, the Feltons owned slaves before the Civil War. Dr. Felton became a Methodist minister in 1857, and served as an army surgeon during the Civil War. The Felton plantation was destroyed during the Civil War, and after the War, Dr. Felton returned to farming. Eventually the couple opened a school, where they both taught.
In the 1870s, Dr. Felton decided to pursue his political ambitions, this time at the federal level. Rebecca became a significant force in his campaign, publishing political commentary and directing the campaign’s activities. Dr. Felton was elected, as an independent Democrat, to the House of Representatives, serving from 1875 to 1881. After losing a run for fourth term, he returned to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1884.
Dr. Felton’s political ascendancy proved an opportunity for Rebecca, as well. She joined the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and became a prominent activist and speaker for women’s rights and white supremacy. In women’s issues, she initially promoted education, primarily, but eventually joined the suffragist movement and became one of the most prominent suffragists in Georgia. As a former slave owner, Rebecca was viciously racist, and spoke favorably and regularly of lynchings. This activism eventually eclipsed the career of her husband, who departed the Georgia House in 1890. Dr. Felton died in 1909. Rebecca continued her activism.
Despite her suffragist efforts, Georgia was the first state to reject the 19th amendment in 1919, and did not allow women the right to vote until 1922. It was because of this that the sitting governor, Thomas Hardwick, appointed Rebecca to the United States Senate after the death of Sen. Thomas Watson in October 1922. The appointment was partially a gambit by Hardwick to woo newly-enfranchised women to vote for him in the November 1922 Georgia Senate election, in which he was a candidate; Hardwick had opposed the 19th amendment. Rebecca’s appointment occurred during a Senate recess, meaning she likely wouldn’t be sworn in at all. The gambit lost: Hardwick lost the November election to Walter F. George, and, after some campaigning by Rebecca and other women in Georgia, George arranged for Felton to be officially sworn in on 21 November 1922. She served for one day, receiving a desk assignment but accomplishing little else. Walter F. George was sworn in the next day (and would serve until his death in 1957).
Though she served just one day, Rebecca Latimer Felton holds many superlatives in the United States Congress. She was the first woman to serve in the Senate, and the fourth woman to serve in Congress overall. She remains the oldest freshman member of Congress, at 87 years old. She also was the last slaveholder to have served in Congress.
Rebecca Latimer Felton died in 1930 at the age of 94.
Rebecca Latimer Felton wrote three books. I don’t recommend them unless you’re interested in slavery apologetics. A biography entitled "Nine Stormy Decades" was published in 1960.

Rebecca Black is a singer who sang the song "Friday" in 2011, and it's music video was the most hated YouTube video at one point. She also released a song called "Saturday" in 2013 and I think they're both total bangers. I loved "Friday" even when it was hated. Annoying Orange also did a parody called "Fry-Day".

Rebecca Ferguson was born Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström in Stockholm, Sweden, and grew up in its Vasastaden district. Her father is Swedish, and her mother, Rosemary, is British, and moved from England to Sweden at the age of 25. Rebecca attended an English-speaking school in Sweden and was raised bilingual, speaking Swedish and English. As a student, she attended the Adolf Fredrik's Music School in Stockholm and graduated in 1999. She came into prominence with her breakout role of upper-class girl Anna Gripenhielm in the soap-opera Nya tider, when she was 16 years old. She lives in the seaside town of Simrishamn, on the Swedish south coast. Ferguson has said she wanted to get away from city life and the public spotlight following her soap opera success. Swedish director Richard Hobert, spotted her at the town market in 2011, which led to her starring in his film En enkel till Antibes. Ferguson taught Argentinian Tango at a dance company in Sweden for a few years. In 2013, Rebecca played Queen Elizabeth Woodville in the BBC historical drama The White Queen, for which she got a Golden Globe nomination. In 2015, Ferguson played Ilsa Faust, the female lead in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. Her co-star, Tom Cruise, chose her for the film after having seen her in the mini-series The White Queen. Her performance in the movie was highly praised and Rebecca will reprise her role in the sixth Mission: Impossible film. In 2016, she starred in Despite the Falling Snow, Florence Foster Jenkins and The Girl on the Train. Her upcoming projects are Life, The Snowman, The Greatest Showman, The Lady and the Panda and M:I 6 - Mission Impossible.
