Rebecca or Rebekah

[mummytobemaybe]

Which spelling do you like?
Rebecca is more common whereas Rebekah is the Hebrew biblical way

[MaisyPops]

Rebecca personally.

The only rebekah I know has eastern european parents.

Unless there's a herritage link, I'd always go for the common one. But that's just personal preference.

Rebekah if you're religious, Rebecca if you're not

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

Rebecca. I want to like Rebekah but for some reason it looks spiky.

[Itsmeitscathy]

As someone with a name that can be spelled multiple ways I vote Rebecca or they'll spend their life spelling it for people

[HardcoreLadyType]

I prefer Rebekah, but I think most people would assume the Rebecca spelling, so that might make it a better choice.

(I have an ordinary name with an unusual spelling, and it's a PITA.)

[Pootles2010]

I'm the 'common' version - still have to spell it every time.

[GrouchyKiwi]

I prefer my spiky spelling but it is a pain to always have to spell out my name.

[PetalMettle]

My niece is a kah but that's because her parents are religious. I'd go for the common spelling

[Sophronia]

Rebecca

[Joeybee]

Rebecca...can't stand when people unnecessarily put k's in names, just looks common.

[GrouchyKiwi]

[SuperBeagle]

Rebecca, just because that's how everyone will assume it's spelt.

Unless the person spelling it is deeply religious, in which case they might assume Rebekah.

[TwoDogs9]

My middle name is Rebecca and I always wished it was spelt Rebekah!! 😢

[KoalaDownUnder]

Rebecca...can't stand when people unnecessarily put k's in names, just looks common.

There's nothing 'unnecessary' about it, in this case - it's the original biblical spelling.

Even if you're too ignorant to know the original spelling the OP explains Rebekah is the biblical version

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Rebecca

[mathanxiety]

Rebekah - I wouldn't associate it with more religious families. I know three of all sorts of backgrounds. I prefer Katherine or Kathryn over Catherine too. I think I prefer the Ks for some reason.

[PetalMettle]

I prefer Kathryn with a k too - the c is too soft to lead somehow

[Pleasejustgetdressed]

Rebecca.

[Avioleta]

Unless you're particularly religious, I'd go with the more common spelling. My own name has a couple of ways to spell it - mine being the least common- and I spend my left correcting people. It's a small but persistent irritation.

[Bumplovin]

I'm a Rebecca and I've always thought Rebekah was cooler there were 5 Rebecca's in my class however it was the 1980s and it was very popular I don't think there'd be so many in a class these days

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Rebecca (Reba).

[TalkingofMichaelAngel0]

Rebekah. Id go for the original spelling. I wouldnt let having to spell it out bother you at all. Both verions now appear to be very common and either would probably need to spell it Occasionally.

[rebeccalavelle12]

Im Rebecca and usually have to spell it for people anyway. So id go for the version you like!!

[Footle]

God the ancient Greeks were so common - splashing all those Ks around instead of naice Roman Cs.
