Wanda or Rebecca?

[Epli]

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 am a Rebecca who has never been Becky, but not for lack of people trying! It's taken a lot of blunt "that's not my name" over the years but people have gotten the hang of it now. I go by Reba.

Rebecca is a classic and has a certain beauty to it. It's a bit safe but Wanda is too out there.
I know a few Veronica's who go as Ron /Ronnie. It's kind of cool.

No to wanda. Have you not seen the tv show fairly odd parents???

Wanda I associate with the verbs "to wander/wonder" so she may get lots of "I Wanda... what I'm having for breakfast? Etc. Comments, a wand is also slang for a penis which would put me off

Rebecca is lovely, possibly a bit boring but safe choice

I know a Veronica who is 30 and loves it, I think it's a good name as it works in different languages, her nicknames have been vern and veronique.

Rebecca - 100 per cent.

Rebecca is a nice safe, timeless, 'neutral' name. It's served me well for 50 years.

Whilst there are plenty of shortenings, you don't have to use them. People sometimes try and call me Becky, but I tell them I don't use that and it's Rebecca.

I do answer to Becs though - but only a few people use it.

Rebecca is timeless, classical and biblical. It is a beautiful name. I've known it shortened to Reb which is better than Becky. Wanda is atrocious. I've only ever heard of it from the John Cleese film "A fish called Wanda". Please don't call a child this.

Rebecca

Becca?
not wanda
what about Wendy

Wanda? That’s bloody awful.

Rebecca is a lovely name but has just dreadful shortenings like Becky or Bex. That would be my worry if I named a child Rebecca.

Rebecca.

I personally love Veronica. I lived in Spain and knew several and thought it was lovely. Rebecca is nice too (although no diminutives).
Not Wanda

"Or Rebbie"

Rebbie? 🤣

Why not just go for Rabies?

Rebecca if you’re having a human baby, Wanda if you’re having a fish.

Rebecca!

Rebekah, because that is the way we spell it in our family!

I have a Rebecca and don't know another which is nice really given I think it's a pretty ordinary name!

Rebecca is lovely, it was extremely popular when I was a child (I'm 38), but I don't know any children called Rebecca. Wanda just makes me think of the film "A Fish Called Wanda", I've never met anyone with that name. Veronica is nice but yes I'd say it's old fashioned and quite an adventurous choice.

My nasty aunt is called Wanda . So Rebecca it is.

Rebecca. Wanda is awful 😬

And yeah, people will call Rebecca 'Becky.'

Rebecca is lovely.

Francesca?

yes veronica is ok
i know a wanda so that puts me off,
other than that, i am sure its ok
