A friend started calling me Reba (because it's associated with my name and for me being a huge Reba McEntire fan)...fave nick name I've been called! There were some people in some college classes who called me Becca. And, a couple people I've known have called me Becky. But, other then that I haven't had any other nick names.
It is kinda funny that it means knotted cord, to tie, because I used to make friendship bracelets and I'd always make them by tying knots in the string. I used to love to make those.
Also, I saw that at the top of this page, under the meaning of the name it says a similar name is Felicia and when I was in Spanish class in high school I chose Felicia as my name in that class. Just thought that was kinda cool.
I do like my name and I love that it is a name from the Bible!

One thing I noticed nowadays is that while the baby books give Rebecca as a meaning to tie, or to bind, they no longer state another meaning that Rebecca has. When I was younger, I used to be hooked on books with baby names and always looked for the meaning of mine. Aside from the stated, Rebecca also takes on a religious meaning "faithful one" or "servant of God."
Nicknames I often respond to, which is pretty much anything that's not Becky, are Becca, Becka, Bekka, Bekk, Bekks, Rebecki, and Rebeck.

In high school, I read the book Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. That didn't exactly solidify any warm and fuzzy feelings I had on the name...
When our first daughter was born, my husband wanted her to have my name as a middle name. I didn't want to use Rebecca, so she has my middle name. Which also happens to be my grandmother's middle name. Looking back, although I love my grandmother, I wish I had let him use Rebecca. It took me quite a while, but the name has really grown on me. Rebecca is a beautiful name, which represents elegance and a regal-nature. All attributes that I strive to possess. Ok, so if you are a party-girl, you might not think the name fits so well... but for me, the name just says class. And that's how I want to be looked at.
For someone who asked about the last name Bentley. It's not my last name, but it was my grandmother's maiden name.

Everyone calls me Becky which I prefer to be called.
It is very hard to find the name Becky anymore which is sad cause it's such a great name.
I also love my middle name which is Ann, my mom couldn't have picked out a better name for me.
Rebecca Ann.

Everyone calls me Becky which I totally love!
Being born in the south and in the 60's the name Rebecca was pretty common, not so much these days.
I guess I can say that I feel pretty lucky I love both my first and middle name Rebecca Ann, not everyone likes the name they are given.
