MY MOM'S REASONING FOR CHOOSING REBECCA:

''Well, my name is Becky and that's a nickname for Rebecca. I've always wanted to have that name and i consider its an elegant and formal name. When naming her Rebecca, I also took in consideration this name because its on the bible. It is also a name you can easily pronounce universally. You dont have a middle name because i've always liked simple, short and nice names. God gave me the opportunity of having 2 girls and the first girl I had, she definately had to be a rebecca!'' -Becky Santos
