Rebe or Reby?

I’m looking at nicknames for [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] that are different.

Reby has caught my eye and I have also seen it spelled as Rebe

Which one looks better?

I think Rebe looks better, imo.

I like Rebe better.

I like Rebe best and think it makes the most sense.

To be honest I wouldn’t think to pronounce Rebe like reh-bee, I’d probably say reeb or rehb? [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite spelling would be Rebby or Rebbie (similar to [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] → Debbie) but out of the two you mentioned, I like Reby more!

Some more [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] nicknames, a few stretchier than others: [name_f]Rea[/name_f] (pronounced reh-ah or ray-ah), [name_u]Beck[/name_u], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_f]Bex[/name_f], [name_u]Rocky[/name_u], [name_f]Reba[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Bessie[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Ree[/name_f], [name_u]Rae[/name_u]

I prefer Rebe

Rebe is so cool!

To be honest both names remind me too much of the Jewish / Hasidic term Rebbe, sometimes also spelled Rebe.

If I had to choose, I’d go with Reby because it’s the least similar. If I could suggest another spelling, maybe Rebbie?
