[Opinions] I don't think

there are any right or wrong ways to spell a name. Like the name Rebekah is in the Bible, so since she was the first one to have it does that mean Rebecca is jacked up?

I'm pretty sure Rebekah was just a form of Rebecca used in some versions, actually.

That's not quite what I was talking aboutI was talking more about people being named things like Makayla or Mykynzie. Really misspelled names, not variant spellings of names that have been in use for years and are accepted.

No, of course Rebecca isn't jacked up, however, Rebekah was used in some versions of the Bible. It's just as legit as Rebecca, imo. The original spelling is Rivqah (not very pretty, is it?). Rebecca is still very much classic. It's far different from Raybeckah or something similar.
