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

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

Rebecca

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

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

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

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.)

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

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

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

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.
