My choice of name is Rebecca but my wife thinks it too formal and too long so we agreed on Becca. Now I have an email address I use for cross dressing matters and I have had to use Bekka Baxter as Becca Baxter was taken. It has rather started to annoy me a little, as I like things to be 'right' and I'm thinking of changing the spelling of my name to Bekka to match the email address, but then Becca is a normal spelling that no one will get wrong, plus I'm quite used to it. Do you think I should change the spelling? Might it be a bit pretentious and does that matter? What do you think?

There are only two options in the poll as there is literally only one choice, Becca or Bekka.

Your votes are important to me and I shall absolutely abide by the majority decision.

The poll is up for only a few days.

Hi, Becca or Bekka, depending on the results of the poll.

I voted for Bekka as I fully understand your wanting to keep things tidy and, in my view, I'm agreeing with your own preference rather than dictating what you should do.

I recently set up a Google account for Allie and luckily I didn't have to change the spelling.

@rebeccabaxter why not just use your preferred email name with a few extra characters to distinguish it from others using the same name?

@rebeccabaxter   I'd go with "Bekka". Be different. Best, Marlene.

@rebeccabaxter I'd suggest to keep your preferred spelling and find a modification of the email address that works with your name

@annaredhead Rather too late for that, I have invested too much in my (Becca's) current email address and I really don't want to change now. My desire for it to be 'right' is in conflict with the fact that I slightly prefer Becca.

Hence this poll, I thought I'd make everyone else responsible, thus saving myself from making the decision Laugh Loud

Hi Be__a,

 

What ever you like. It's hard to get a new email that doesn't include numbers these days, so you've already done alright. I've accepted that you can't always get what you want, sometimes you have to take what you can.

Your post did however distract me to try to get an email for emmatturner - guess what? Already taken ! But I have come up with an acceptable variation which doesn't use numbers.

So now emma related email will have a new home, and doesn't have to share with my 'junk' email.

I feel better for that 😉

Keep the spelling and try a few different mail providers, hopefully you find one that the original spelling is open.

In your shoes, I'd be keeping Becca and trying either @kimdl94 or @paulapantyhose suggestions.  Unless you feel like you want to change your name, of course, in which case, go for it 🙂

I'm with Fiona on this one. From one Rebecca to another, I rather like Becca. Personally I would not be keen on Bekka.

I am beginning to think the freaky spelling may be a little too young and funky for someone of my advancing years.

I think you should just go with the way you are now, I don't think it really matters in the long run as long as you can login with your present email address, how you call yourself online is the only thing that matters, we all know you as Becca, 

Hugs Rozalyn X 🤗

Ok, I think I've seen enough and this comment above just about sums it up. I'll stop the poll and stick with Becca as the writing was on the wall anyway with already 10 to 4 to keep the original spelling. It was a passing whim, I suppose, and seemed a reasonable idea at the time...it has passed.

Hi Becca. 

I'm glad you kept the original form. These problems often occur with email addresses. I had to invent another surname because mine was already taken with my initials in Gmail. So it stuck. Anyway, I am known by my usual names: Gisela Claudine, not by my surename.

You closed the poll rather quickly so I couldn't vote, but I was for keeping things the way they are. Your login here wouldn't change, just the display name so there would still be a conflict. The email is likely a drop-down selection or choice  anyway so who really cares what it says: just pick the one you want. You only get the occasional email from the service provider with some updates or new features which might spell your name wrong.
