Rebecca Gibbon: Hello, my name is Rebecca Gibbon. It rhymes with ribbon and is sometimes misspelled, either pluralized as Gibbons or shortened as Gibbs. But it is a singular Gibbon, as in a monkey. It is an old Welsh name originating from Pembrokeshire in Wales. At school, I was called Funky Gibbon, after the song made famous by the Goodies in the 1970s. I used to hate it then, but now, I think it's quite funny.
