Rebecca

[KatieKat88]

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)

Paragraphs have typically disappeared...

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.

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

I'm a Rebecca. I love my name, but hate the nickname Becky. Becks is probably the most common nickname I have.

I wouldn't say it's dated but I haven't heard recently of a baby named Rebecca. I think it would be a lovely choice, not overly popular but also not hugely dated.

I know three Rebecca's ranging in age from 6 to 46. I love the name and the two younger Rebecca's are known as the full version of their name, no diminutive.

Rebecca is beautiful. Alternatives in a similar vein: Louisa, Abigail, Rachel, Sarah, Laura?

Most rebecca’s I know tend to go by Becca.

I like to use family names for middles names, are there any family names you like that go with Rebecca? Otherwise Rebecca Lucy or Rebecca Kate are quite nice.

MN Selina, Serena

Classic lovely name.
Rebecca Sophia?

My Rebecca 21 is known as Becky ,Becks or Becca, middle name May (family name for generations)
We have a relative in her 30s and she is Rebecca and nothing else

Could also consider Rebekah which is (a) closer to the original Hebrew and (b) a bit cooler and more contemporary, weirdly.

Rebekah Elise
Rebekah Juliet
Rebekah Ivy
Rebekah Maud
Rebekah Linnet
Rebekah Lois

I'm a Rebecca, also called Becca and Becs. Middle name Ann hence the unfortunate RAG initials 😂

Rebecca is very classic and timeless

Rebecca Grace
Rebecca Eloise
Rebecca Rose
Rebecca Seraphine
Rebecca Audrey
Rebecca Sophia
Rebecca Elizabeth
Rebecca Margaret
Rebecca Riley
Rebecca Shirley
Rebecca Eliza
Rebecca Cynthia

I love it.

Rebecca is gorgeous. Yes its is dated, but That doesn't have to be a bad thing. At least you know there's a strong chance that she'll be the only one in her class. Do you want her to be one of 7 Olivias in her class.
Maybe Bea or Bea-Bea would work as nn, if you don't want Becky.

The oldest Rebecca I know is 45-50
I know 2 who are 18/19

I know a 2 year old Rebecca who’s known as Rebi. Lovely name!

It is too dated. I think of a middle aged 30-50 year old woman.

Ramona?

I know a 14 year old Rebecca Leigh. In the same family there's an Emma too

My friend's little 5 year old Rebecca is known as Rebel.

Rebecca is a classic, I don't think it's dated.

Rebecca is a biblical name so is a classic.It has been hugely popular in the past so could seem a bit dated.
If you love it, use it.
Rebel is a brilliant nn. Becca or Becky more run of the mill.

I don't think that name dates tbh. It's a classic, like James.
I know one Bex and one Rebecca. It's a well known name but not overly used so I don't think you'll end up with several close friends sharing a name if you know what I mean

I like Rebecca and if you want a middle name beginning with S would go for Sarah.

It's a gorgeous name.
