Rebecca will definitely become Becky

Hmm other posters and I have already said we know people called Rebecca who are never called Becky. I think "definitely" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Outing myself here, but I am a Rebecca and have been called Becky a handful of times in my entire life. I just politely correct people - Becky really doesn't suit me!

I love my name. I get called Bec, Bex, Becca, Betty even, but never ever Becky. People rarely presume to give people nicknames without checking IME. People always say "are you a Becky or a Becca" and I say "I don't really get called Becky but do get x, y or z".

I like your older DC names.

I have a charlotte (Lottie) and a Matilda (Tilly)

Out your list I like Emma, it's still not that common in my area and quite underrated (imo anyway)

Congratulations on your DD.

BasicBetty · 22/02/2017 11:08

Your DCs have beautiful names!

I see you've removed Mary from your list, but I absolutely love it.

Of your shortlist, I think Emily or Sophie.

All the best

Rebecca will definitely become Becky.

I'm called Rebecca, I've never had it shortened.

There was four in my old year group at school and only one got Becky.

PovertyJetset · 22/02/2017 12:37

Emma

wobblywonderwoman · 22/02/2017 12:41

Naomi came into my mind as one that would nicely with your other DC. Many congrats!!

Ordinarily · 22/02/2017 17:50

That's a lovely shortlist OP Smile

I think these would go nicely with the others:

Sophie Rebecca
Emily Frances
Rebecca Lucy
Emma Sophie

I like Emily with emme as day to day. Just to throw it out there what about Constance nn Connie. I love it and works with the other kids names. You have good name taste. A photo might help..... congratulations xx

If you want Ruby from Rebecca you could just call her Ruby. It's a lovely name in its own right. Best of luck recovering and picking a name.

NapQueen · 22/02/2017 23:09

Just use Ruby

WineCheeseSleep · 22/02/2017 23:20

I love the names so much of your other children. I like Emily best to go with them. Congratulations Flowers

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/02/2017 09:56

What did you name your baby daughter OP ?

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 23/02/2017 10:04

I knew a Rebecca who was always known as Ruby.

Toddlerteaplease · 23/02/2017 10:22

Frances Elizabeth is lovely.,

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/02/2017 13:41

Lucy or Mary

FloralOwl · 23/02/2017 20:08

Hi I just wanted to update that we registered her today and have chosen Lucy Rebecca. I know we said we had knocked Lucy off the list as we call our eldest Lottie but we decided it suited her most and Lottie is Charlotte so their initials are different when it comes to official stuff.

Rebecca nn Reba is great. I liked Frances best from your original list but think they're all nice choices.

Emilia is also lovely, and I particularly love Emmeline.

Laquila · 23/02/2017 20:17

Ahh lovely choice OP. I think Lucy is one of those rare names that suits babies/children and also works well for a grown woman.
