I am going against the grain and saying I like the traditional spelling (Rebecca is the modern spelling!) and go with the Hebrew spelling of Rebekah. Gorgeous!
A family friend is Rebekah, and I love the way it's spelt! She shortens it to Bek. One of her brothers is Matthew (with 2 T's). I thought that was how you actually spell it. :shrug:
My mums side of the family is Dutch, so I love Pieter, but Peter is my dad's name (and it's not fair to use my dad's name and not dh's dad's name).
I am a Rebecca and i have 2 SIL's Rebecca (yep there are 3 of us!!) DH Sister is Rebecca Anne, I'm Rebecca Ann and DH's Brothers Wife is Rebecca Jane. (confusing at Christmas!!) lol and we all get called Bec. Also my MIL Is a Ruth and Her MIL is also a Ruth!! lol
But i love the names Rebecca and Ruth, altho i have been banned in using either name for our little girl when she comes along!
I think spelt Rebecca for your little one would tie in perfectly with her brothers and sisters.
