Rebekah

UsernameNotValid · 30/06/2020 22:09

Rebecca.

Mainly because I love Becca though and the only Rebekah I knew was an arsewipe 🤣

Blackdog19 · 30/06/2020 22:10

Rebecca. So she won’t have to always spell out her name

DramaAlpaca · 30/06/2020 22:10

Rebecca

Harpischord · 30/06/2020 22:10

Rebecca otherwise she will have to tell everyone how to spell it.

Heytheredelilah99 · 30/06/2020 22:10

I know Rebekah is the biblical version.

Definitely Rebecca

FizzFan · 30/06/2020 22:15

Rebekah is a bit footballers wives

Or alternatively, the traditional Hebrew/Biblical version

That said I also prefer Rebecca

Starbuggy · 30/06/2020 22:15

Rebecca

Beautiful name!

I prefer Rebecca and I think it's what most people who guess at the spelling would try.

Rebekah is more unusual.

Rebecca

I know more Rebeccas so my first instinct would be that spelling, but pick the one you prefer.

If a Rebekah or Rebecca becomes very famous your DD could equally be needing to say “double ca not kah” or “kah not cca”

Rebecca

Cupidity · 30/06/2020 23:15

FizzyGreenWater · 30/06/2020 23:37

Oh Rebecca definitely. It’s lovely.

WitchesGlove · 30/06/2020 23:38

Just not Becky, please, horrible name

Limpid · 30/06/2020 23:41

I preferred Rebekah until R ‘Wagatha Christie Affair’ Vardy’s fluorescent teeth wrecked it for me.

Blackbear19 · 30/06/2020 23:42

Rebecca.

Never seen Rebekah but something makes me want to pronounce it Re-beak-ah.

ParsleyPot · 30/06/2020 23:44

Rebecca

Heh1991 · 01/07/2020 00:20

Rebecca!

PareidoliaNephophile · 01/07/2020 00:26

Rebecca unless religious reasons for choosing it

june2007 · 01/07/2020 00:32

Which do you prefer, either is exceptable.

gotothecooler · 01/07/2020 00:35

Rebekah is a bit footballers wives

Or you know, the Bible 😂
