Hey I honestly think Karen is a way better name than Becki which has also been thrown around as pejorative for white women. Call me Karen I’ll just roll my eyes and say okay now I DO want to talk to your manager. But call me Becci or Becky or whatever and I just might throat punch a b****. Lol! But (of course) I have an annoying cousin named Becky that I can’t stand so there’s that. My stepsister (Karin may she rest in peace) would be horrified at the awful use of her name, despite the fact that she probably would have embodied it, and I’m glad she didn’t have to endure it during her much too short but fairly miserable life.

First I've ever heard of Becky being a bad thing although my sweet mama never allowed anyone to call me that. She didn't give me a middle name- thought that was sufficient. The Beckadee is what my Aunt called me. Must be a northern thing. ha

I actually love the name Rebecca I think it’s lovely and has dignity. It’s the Becky that I think sounds dumb as hell. Your mom sounds like a great lady. 😉. My husband is Martin. Never call him Marty unless you want an enemy for life. 😂. Another dumbass nickname that should never have been. Beckadee is an awesome nickname. Like chickadee which I call people all the time.
