Sabrina, Rebecca or Violet

[Lollywollypop]

Hii. I'd be soo grateful for your opinions of the above names. Expecting baby #2 and it's confirmed to be a girl so now i get to obsess over names and browse girly toys and clothing.

My ex doesn't want to be involved so thought it might be good idea to join here.

TIA xx

Violet. Rebecca is dated and has terrible abbreviations

Rebecca is very millennial to me.

Violet makes me think of horrible Violet Beautegarde

Sabrina is a witch isn’t she?

Rebecca is nice, reminds me of Mandy Moore in “this is us” a lovely show! Everyone else I know called Rebecca is a Becky, Becca or Becs so it depends if you mind those nicknames.

Also do quite like Sabrina

Violet

All lovely. Be prepared for Rebecca to be shortened to Becky if you choose that.

I think that I'd choose Sabrina... purely because there aren't many of them around, so it is one of those names that makes you think, "Wow! How unusual!" (in a good way). It's recognisable, easy to spell, and definitely one to remember.

Rebecca is my favourite, lovely classic. I really like Becca to. Looks lovely, sounds lovely, rare to meet a little Rebecca these days

I really like Sabrina too.

Violet is overdone and boring to me, also sometimes autocorrects to violent

I do really like Viola though

Sabrina

Why must she be prepared for Rebecca to be shortened to Becky?

It should only be shortened if the parents and or child say it can. I have a Rebecca and neither of us ever permitted any shortening of it. My own name is one that can be shortened but I have never allowed it to be.

It’s very ignorant and rude if other people call someone by a name which is not their preference.

Rebecca is gorgeous.
Violet is popular and a little twee.
Sabrina is nice. I prefer Serena and Sabine, due to witchy vibe.

You’ve no idea what she’s called when you’re not there.

Depends on the surname. Is it Thwaite, de Winter, Beauregarde or Carson?

All so different! I like Violet.

I don’t like Violet at all. Sabrina and Rebecca are nice.

Of course not, but I said if the child herself uses her full name, and that is her wish then she should be called by that name. No-one should be calling her anything else.

When DD1 was little I corrected everyone who called her by a shortened version or nickname. I’ve done the same with my own name. I will not accept any shortenings.

DD1 is an adult and insists on her full name.

No-one has the right to call anyone else other than their preferred name.

Rebecca. I’ve got a Rebecca and it’s timeless

Sabrina is my favourite out of the three - really lovely.

I like Violet but it’s starting to become overused.

Rebecca is awful, sorry. Dated and dull.

Sabrina - pretty but a bit daft
Violet - too popular at the moment, there will be 5 in her class. Pretty though
Rebecca - timeless and elegant

Violet!

Love Rebecca

Rebecca is such a basic name. She’ll end up becoming a Becky and it just screams boring and basic IMO.

Sabrina is a lovely name but rather glamorous sounding to me somehow. A kind of 1970s Bond girl sort of vibe. To me anyway!

Violet is lovely, very feminine and traditional but also with that hard 't' at the end so it's not a soft name like a lot of flower names.

Not necessarily.

She’ll only be a Becky if she chooses to be.

My Rebecca is not, and never has been.

@BebbanburgIsMine My mother would probably say 'My Alberta is not, and never has been' about me
