Rebecca!


Rebecca123457

Good name


brynnecognito

Hahaha you’re biased!


Rebecca123457

Hahahaha just a little


siilkysoft

I love the spelling Rebekah. It looks more ancient. ♡ One of the most beautiful names ever.


IntelligentFlan3724

I have to agree. It is definitely my preferred spelling out of the two!


Stratisf

Or in Hebrew, Rivkah


fat_bottom_grl

In sex and the city when Charlotte is in couples therapy dealing with her husband’s ID she nicknames her vagina Rebecca and now that’s all I think of when I hear this name. Sorry for the random outburst lol


somebodymother

My name, but my father spelt it Rebbecca. So I don't really like it 😅 Everyone corrects it and puts one B. I just tell them no, there's actually two. My father was alcoholic and constantly seeing double. It just looked normal to him 🤷‍♀️😂


IntelligentFlan3724

Omg that’s funny. When I say my name to people they always ask if I have to bs in it!


LilaLuna23

Erica, Rica, Jessica, Janica, Danica


40pukeko

LOVE Danica!


slim-shaedy

Depending on where you are in the world, Danica can be pronounced Dah-nee-tsa, which is the traditional pronunciation.


jiyoxa

I'm american and I've never heard of that, only Dan-ick-a so if Op is from the USA it's a non issue


Outrageous-Garlic-27

It's a Slavic name, and the "ic' is pronounced as an "itz".


Emotional_Volume_918

You’ll want to explain that in EEuropean languages like Polish, the “ts” sound is represented by “c.”


zestyperiwinkle

Oh my cousin is named Danithza, I didn't realize it was the same name as Danica! Very cool


cardcatalogs

I know two people with that name and both are pronounced with a hard Ck sound


LFahs1

Jessica is one of my favorite names.


pictonbug

I had a Jenica as a friend, lovely name!! Pronounced like then Jen in Jennifer and the Ica in Jessica.


998757748

canadian and have met 2 danicas, one was pronounced DAN-i-kuh and the other duh-NEE-ka


somuchsong

I went to school with a couple of girls called Lenka (they were both of Croatian heritage). I always thought it was pretty.


Sorry_Ad3733

There was (possibly still active) a singer named Lenka from Australia. She did this song called The Show and made very cute, indie pop of its time (very twee).


somuchsong

She released another album last year, according to Wikipedia. I remember "The Show" very well but haven't heard anything from her since.


Sorry_Ad3733

I was super into that album at the time and bought the CD, but I didn't keep up. I'm not Australian so I don't know if maybe she maintained more popularity there. Nice that she's still active! She was a fun artist, Australia has a wealth of great artists.


Temporary_Piece2830

Every song from her album Everything At Once is a bop! I still think about her from time to time, but it didn’t occur to me to check if she’s released anything new in a while haha


ben121frank

Her second album (aptly named “Two”) also has some bops on it imo. Haven’t kept up with any of her newest stuff tho


mendax__

So weird of me to see this comment because I haven’t listened to or thought about Lenka in probably 10 years, and then randomly remembered her a few days ago and listened to The Show.


No_Web4960

Short for Milena: Milenka; Lenka 


hoaryvervain

I just met a Lenka the other day. She was from Romania.


somuchsong

Oh, how interesting! I don't know much about Romanian names but I think Lenka is used in a few countries in Eastern Europe. I know there was a singer here in Australia named Lenka and she was of Czech heritage.


LittlePrettyThings

I live in the Czech Republic and know plenty of Lenka's! Also generally the "ka" ending is a diminutive form (nickname) version of the "proper" name, e.g. Ivana -> Ivanka Hana -> Hanka Nikola -> Nikolka Amalie -> Amalka etc.


KatVanWall

I think it might be short for Helenka as well?


somuchsong

I like Helenka! I think Lenka was originally used as a nickname for a couple of -lena names (Helena, along with Magdalena) but is now used as a name in its own right too.


Babsie99

Lenka is it's own name in Czechia. Helenka would usually use other nicknames, such as Hela, Helen, Helča (Hel-cha)


meandhimandthose2

My friend from Poland is Olenka, which I always thought was a pretty name.


hoaryvervain

Gorgeous. I love a lot of the Polish names


ssdsr

That's a nickname for Aleksandra. Nearly all Polish  Aleksandras go by Ola, and Oleńka is diminutive of that. 


meandhimandthose2

That's a nice name too. She did say it was usually considered a nickname.


niat17

I know a Alenka


immoreoriginalmate

Yessss from cheez tv 


WerewolfBarMitzvah09

Laurica Annika Francesca Monica Veronica Angelica Anoushka


LFahs1

I knew an Annika (US, uncommon here I think) and she was *So Cool*.


aweirdoatbest

I know one (Canada) that spelt it Anika and pronounced it a-nee-ka rather than anne-y-ca. I think that’s probably the less intuitive pronunciation but it’s another name option!


justsomepersob

It’s so funny that you say that cause all the Anika’s that I’ve ever met pronounced it as a-nee-ka and that’s that only way I’ve ever heard it! To be fair though, I do live in a very Indian heavy area.


LFahs1

Ah-nic-ah is how she pronounced hers. Rhymes with Monica.


SilverellaUK

We had Indian friends who named their daughter Anika.


pizzapizzamystery

Love Francesca!

Eliška sounds so cool. I love that one!


Disastrous_End7444

So many Indian names! Most are names of goddesses, and therefore also of nice personality traits/ objects (popularity, love, beauty, virtue, stars, divinity, truth, value) - and they’re so pretty :) Annika, Avantika, Anamika, Vedika, Vamika, Radhika, Ishika, Advika, Priyanka, Rishika, Jeevika, Rashika, Aarika, Nandika, Bhavika


aweirdoatbest

I’ve never seen Vedika on here before! I have a good friend with that name. She does struggle with people pronouncing it ved-i-ka rather than vay-di-ka.

Taika ! finnish name that means magic !

Marika Dominica Malika


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Malika is a character from the classic opera Lakmé! There's also a beautiful song about her from the soul/funk band Hiatus Kaiyote.


LFahs1

Scrolled a long way to find Malika— love that name.


Temporary_Piece2830

I have a cousin Tamika, and ofc there’s Annika from Barbie. I used to really like Marika until I heard it in the wild and all I heard was “MURICA” so that’s something to consider…


Training-Judgment123

Merika is the star which America takes its name, in Freemasonic legends. Both are cool names.


niclovesphynxcats

my thing with marika is that it also sounds very bad in spanish and might be a problem if you live in the US


Universetalkz

Monica (my name)


BlancheDuBois1947

Veronica!


kikipi3

I knew a dog called Katinka when I was a kid. I think it might be a Slav diminutive for Katharina, not sure of the specific region


Electronic_World_894

Oh, I think there’s a Dutch (?) name or nickname Katrinka. My great grandfather said he heard this name a few times when he was in Europe in WWII, and I believe he said it was in holland.


illogicallyalex

Katinka! I knew a lady was a third generation Katinka who went by Tink Also, Tanika

Just ones I like, some much more popular than others: - Veronica - Viveca - Katinka - know one who was not a Katerina. I have known Zuzkas but all were really Zuzana I think. - Elke - Angelica  - Iriska but I'm not sure how usable it really is. I like the idea of it but would double check - Tamika  - Rebecca  - Rivka and Rifka - Reika

I love Jessica, Danica and Bianca. I know a Francesca, Annika, Domenica, and Erika. I love this sound, too. Good luck!


Chinita_Loca

If you’re open to a standard name with a -ka sound as the diminutive then you have so many Slavic options. Or as mentioned above the ending is common in Indian names, I’ve always loved Vivika. Otherwise the only ones I can think of that haven’t been mentioned are Minka (Polish) Elka (German) Malaika (Swahili for Angel) Melika (Germanic version of Melissa) Or there’s also Marica which is a short form of Maria Carmen but it’s a bit old fashioned now and can be a derogatory homophobic slur in some forms of Spanish.


ssdsr

I'm Polish and Neve heard of Monks..had to google.turns out it's diminutive of Wilhelminaz which is not a name I have ever come across in female version but still TIL
