Rebecca

DH and I both like Rebecca. I'm not sure if it's the one... would appreciate advice on the following please!

Is it dated? I don't like the current popular names so want something classic.

What nicknames could we use? Would rather avoid Becky as we have a Becky in the family (not too close)

Any ideas for middle names? Surname beginning with S.

Can you think of similar classic names that I might love more? (I've spent a long time looking but Rebecca is what we both keep coming back to)

Rebecca Jane was the combination of its time, although some might argue it was more 70's than classic. Grin

I have a Rebecca, and she is one of 2 in the school. At home she goes by Bex or Becca, but I think at school she prefers her full name.

I also liked Elinor, Rosalind, Marianne and Katherine.
