I was reading the newspaper today and I saw a birth announcement for a girl I graduated with. She had a daughter and she named her Rebbca. I HATE that. I'm hoping the newspaper misprinted it... because otherwise that's a horrible creative spelling. What do you think?

WOW. I really, really, really hope it's a typo. Really.

Even so, Rebecca is spelled like that (usually) so it would be a major typo... They added a b, subtracted a c, and forgot an e. That's messed up.

Yeah. Maybe it's a typo for a really bad creative spelling, but not as bad as Rebbca. Maybe it's Rebbeca or something. I don't know, I'm just hoping, haha. Poor kid!

Haha, yeah, same here.

I bet it is. That's just weird.

Yeah, but that's THREE typos... you know? They added a b and forgot a c and an e. That's intense.

I can almost imaginning someone doing that

Some people freak out and can't spell anything with double consonants in it. But maybe the name is actually pronounced "reb-ka" :-S

Ewww. I hope its a typo.

Ugh. Why would somebody name their kid that?

i haven't the first idea.

It sort of reminds me of the Hebrew name Rivkah.

It's just... not even Rebecca at all. Wow.

I know, right? Ugh.

I just heard of a lady (Inuit) whose name is Rebque. I think it's fine.

maybe its not a creative spelling...maybe the name is Rebbca (Reb-KA). Or maybe it is a typo and the name is Rebbeca (reb-EH-ka).

Or maybe you're right and thats horrible :\

yikes. That's terrible. I would prn it Reb-cah, not Ruh-bec-uh.
