Rebecca or Olivia?

[xprincessx]

Not pregnant yet but like discussing names already

Stuck between Rebecca and Olivia. Olivia, I love but seems very popular but Rebecca seems dated to me and I don't like the nickname 'Becky'. DH prefers Rebecca. What do you think? Middle name will be Noelle regardless

Rebecca, because awesome people have that name!

No one calls me Becky, it's always Becks or Becca. People tend to ask me what I prefer.

I do also think Rebecca flows better with the middle name you've chosen.

I like Rebecca! I wouldn't assume someone is called Becky with that name.

Olivia by a mile for me! I agree that Rebecca sounds dated, strikes me as very 80s/90s and I don't care for Becky either (only Rebecca I know as an adult goes by Becky, I went to school with like 5 of them in the mid-90s though).

I feel incredibly old with everyone saying my name is dated!

I feel incredibly old with everyone saying my name is dated!

I have a typical 80s/90s name, too! Definitely not meaning it to be insulting. I've heard of a few newborns with my name I have to do a double-take because it's just not something I picture on "modern" day babies!

I have a dated name too (Michelle), it's pretty obvious I was born in the 80's!

I don't like either name and actually like the middle name better, it's a lovely name.

Rebecca is lovely!

I think Rebecca is lovely, it's a Hebrew name and really classic, it's been used over many years and definitely doesn't seem 80s/90s to me x

I'm a Rebekah so different spelling. I don't get called Becky either. It's rare these days my name is shortened.
