340.0. "Rebecca" by CSCMA::MAYNARD () Wed Jan 25 1989 12:07

    Help me out... I hate the name REBECCA and my wife is crazy about
    it.  There must be some nick names or something else I could call
    this baby if I'm forced to accept REBECCA.

    Becky
    Becca
    RB  (sounds like Arbie)
    
    Maybe if you pick something that you know she'll absolutely hate
    and insist on it, then you can agree to a compromise!!!  That's
    what I did...........

    Odd, when we were expecting our baby, I suggested Rebecca to my
    then husband and he turned it down because, although he thought
    Rebecca was pretty, he hated the nickname, Becky!
    
    I think Rebecca is a pretty name.

	I also like Rebecca a lot, but if you insist on a nickname,
	here are a few more:

	  Rebbie
	  Reb

	If you are a dyed-in-the-wool New Englander, though, I'm not
	sure how appropriate these names would be.

     How about the name Rebekah taken from the Bible, and maybe if you
     read about her you might end up liking the name.

    Hate the name??? how can you????!!!!!
    How about the "Hebrew" version,Rivka.the most popular nickname for
    Rivka is Ricky,although I do not even bother to answer when I'm
    nicknamed.
          One other thing-all the other Rivka's I know are really nice!!!

    I could never name my daughter Rebecca.  I knew a girl in school
    who was the biggest pain in the *ss, always had to be the center
    of attention, thought she was the most BEAUTIFUL person, etc. whose
    name was Rebecca, called Becky.  That's the connection I make.
