What do you think of these names? Are they awfully old-fashioned? I am not from the UK and often struggle all cultural or social connotations surrounding names.
Am I right that people would probably use Becky instead or Rebecca?

I like Francesca in English but in Poland it's associated with 90 year old nuns and I need something that works in both countries :)

Quite honestly, 90 year old nuns are better than fish or vibrators!😂

Francesca is beautiful, Rebecca is ok, Wanda is 🤐

Rebecca with shortened form of Becca. Becky is fine for a small child but you can grow into a Becca

Rebecca. Wanda is cool on a certain person but you don’t want someone called Wanda if they turn out awkward or mousy.

Sorry didn’t see it’s old! Love Alexandra!

I don't like Wanda

I like Rebecca, but people aren't going to say it and I don't like any of the nicknames. It depends if you like the nicknames that come with a name though
