The problem with LJ: we have such bad memories that we don't necessarily remember what we've learned about each other. Or there never seems to be an opportune time to ask.

If you'd like, ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that might be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

My given name is "Rebecca," which is "Rivka" in Hebrew. I was occasionally called Rivka as a kid - I don't know where my parents picked it up - and I remember learning how to write it in Hebrew letters when kcobweb was learning Hebrew.

I really dislike (for myself) the standard nicknames for Rebecca - I just don't feel like a "Becky" or a "Becca," and the less said about my high school friends' tendency to call me "Reba," the better. I've always loved the sound of the name "Rivka." So when I was looking for a nickname to use on the 'net and elsewhere, Rivka seemed like the natural choice.

Lots of people now call me Rivka IRL. Many of them mistakenly assume that I'm Jewish, but that doesn't really bother me.
