Rebekah - takes be a minute to realize it's the same name as Rebecca

10/23/21 8:39am

Except Rebekah is the original, Biblical name.

exactly how it was spelled in ancient Hebrew — using a later Roman alphabet

bruincoug

10/23/21 8:57am

But they didn't spell that name in romanized characters back in the day.

Shihan

10/23/21 8:57am

Of course not, but we have several hundred years of that spelling in English

That makes it less annoying.

What's even worse is when they abbreviate it to Bekah - very hard to decipher

Yeah, hate that guy

10/23/21 8:58am

Well, he is widely considered the father of English literature and is

10/23/21 9:03am

That's exactly why. He should have left Middle English alone.

10/23/21 9:19am

Would you rather be speaking French now?

Like Byron Russell?

germm

10/23/21 8:58am

In his defense, Jordan pushed off.

EtTuKalante

10/23/21 9:34am

Yes…guarantee Jordan doesn’t push off if his name is spelled right

10/23/21 9:46am

And it’s Bryon Russell…..nobody says that as Brian/Bryan at first glance
