Greta

Greta is a vintage name rooted in old German tradition, exuding a sense of strength and style while evoking the retro allure of legendary actress Greta Garbo. Recently, the name has been making a comeback, reaching popularity levels not seen since the 1970s. Notable figures who share this name include filmmaker Greta Gerwig and climate activist Greta Thunberg. The name Greta originates from the German word for “pearl,” and in biblical terms, it means “child of light.” When you consider it, both “pearl” and “child of light” share a sense of purity and beauty.

Rebecca

It’s the perfect time to revisit the timeless name Rebecca. This classic name, which dates back to biblical times, enjoyed a surge in popularity in the 1970s. Rebecca feels modern without following fleeting trends, while its shortened form, Becca, is more in vogue today than the more traditional Becky. Rebecca remains a go-to choice for girls’ names starting with ‘R.’ Among the notable Rebeccas, we have the renowned author Rebecca West, Australian singer-songwriter Rebecca St. James, and actress and former model Rebecca Romijn.
