I don’t get why people all use the same first initial for all their kids either. As for the misspelling trying
to be unusual or different, that would drive me mad spending my life correcting people

Seeing a lot of hate for Rebecca and all its variations and shortenings. It’s my name, and generally agree it’s boring AF What I’ve never got is that you get called Rebecca at birth but barely anyone with the name is actually called Rebecca in the day-to-day, always called some variation. And when you meet people they can’t resist calling you whatever variation they feel like, I even get called just ‘B’ quite often, like even Bec or Becky is too much of a stretch for you now? O OK! I’m generally not too fussy about it but it does make me chuckle that my intended name at birth has ended up being so far removed from what I’m actually called by people.

I once worked with a woman who named her daughter Rebecca and always used the full name. She spoke about her constantly by name and always really emphasised the first syllable. Only problem was she couldn’t pronounce her r’s so it was always ‘Our Weebecca said, our Weebecca did, etc!’

I recently found out that one of the teenagers I used to work with in the PRU now has two sons called Blu and Cub
Have I won the thread?

A family I used to work with had 4 children, 3 were called Kia, Kai and Kay. The fourth was randomly called Amanda.
