> I know there was a thread titled "Handles" about a year ago that concerned this topic; I just read that thread and found it very interesting. However, there were only a few folks who posted to that thread who are still current regulars today (Issachar, Howard, Darien among them). I am curious about where people's nicknames come from.


My story's not very exciting...Rivikah is a version of my real name, Rebecca. I'm not particularly imaginative when it comes to making up names and my own works perfectly fine. I do like to experiment with differant spelling and versions however so in various different situations I call myself Rebecca, Rebekah, Becca, Bekah, Becka, Becky, Bea, Rivkah, Rivikah, Vikah, Kah...

Rivi"of the many names"kah
