I picked Rebecca, but either is totally acceptable in my book, and I don't usually like alternative spellings.

I prefer the spelling Rebekah. But I voted for Rebecca because I love the nn Becca. I would choose whichever looks best with the ln.

I feel like Rebekah is the Jewish spelling and Rebecca is the mainstream spelling. I wouldn't use the first unless I was Jewish, but that's just me!

I voted Rebekah. I think both spellings are nice but I prefer the traditional biblical spelling.
