[Opinions] Rebecca or Rebekah?

I'm writing a novel about an assassin, she was born and bred in a very Area 51-like environment. I don't know who named her, just that they named her Rebecca. The only thing is I don't know which spelling to use as Rebecca looks nicer on paper but Rebekah feels more like the character. Thoughts? TIA!

Rebekah

I just like the way Rebekah looks more than Rebecca. And Rebecca looks too soft to be the name of an assassin. Rebekah looks more . . . edgy, that's the only way I can put it.

I love Rebecca but it is too sweet, sunny & refined for the character. I agree that Rebekah feels more like the character.

Rebekah!

Rebekah is so much spunkier than Rebecca. =)

I think it's harder-edged and a little darker than Rebecca. It sounds like it would suit your character best.

Rebecca

For me the double C is all the appeal of the name.

Rebecca out of these two, but I like Rebeka best.

Rebekah

From what you described, that seems to fit the character better.

If you're going the sci-fi route, I think Rebekah fits better with the setting. Or you could really fool around with the spelling and have it be Rebeccah or Rebeckah.
