Give Reba a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Reba's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Behind the Name calls Reba a short form of Rebecca. Rebecca comes from the Hebrew name Rivqa, probably from a Semitic root meaning “join, tie, snare,” and it is the name of the wife of Isaac in the Old Testament. Wikipedia’s Reba page is a list of people and things with the name rather than a meaning, and it also lists Reba as a Midianite king in the Hebrew Bible. So Reba is a small name with a very old family tree.
Behind the Name’s family tree for Reba traces it to Rebecca and lists the English short forms Becca, Becci, Becka, Becky, Becki, Beck and Bekki. Since Reba is itself a short form, it has no common nickname of its own, though Becky is the most familiar relative. Rebecca is the formal long version.
Wikipedia’s Reba page lists Reba McEntire, born on March 28, 1955, an American country singer and actress dubbed “The Queen of Country,” who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide. It also names Reba Rambo, a Christian singer and songwriter, and Reba Buhr, an American voice actress.
Reba never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart shows it in the top 1,000 for 89 years between 1880 and 1968, best at 231st in 1928 and 958th in 1968. It has not been ranked in the US top 1,000 since.
Wikipedia says Reba McEntire starred in the sitcom Reba, which ran for six seasons. The Reba page also lists Reba the mail lady from Pee-wee’s Playhouse, a song called “Reba” by the band Phish, and a cyprinid fish known as the reba.
Reba’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Reba’s Notebook” on the cover tells Reba it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Reba’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
