It's never revealed in the book, just wondering what you always imagined her name to be?
In 'Rebecca' by Daphne DuMaurier what is Mrs deWinter's first name.?
I always thought old English like Elizabeth, Victoria, or Margaret, even Charlotte. I always thought she has an older sounding name that was rich and imposing- one you could picture on revered royalty.
Reply:Rebecca is the name of the first wife.
The given name of the second Mrs. de Winter is not revealed in the novel. However, in chapter 3, after she receives a note from Maxim, she says how her name was 'spelt correctly, an unusual thing', which implies that her name is either strange or complex. In neither version is the narrator named (Joan Fontaine played the role in the movie).
I have always liked the name Lorelei.
Reply:At one point Maxim de Winter tells her 'you have a very beautiful and unusual name' but I have no idea what the name might be. i've always considered the second mrs de winter a bit dreary myself, so it is hard for me to imagine her having a beautiful and unusual anything.
