Rebecca Jane sounds beautiful and classic. Has a plain touch, nothing to extravagant. I like it! But I would preffer Rebekah Jayne. I like the biblical spelling Rebekah better, and for some reason Jayne with the Y always seems fancy and appealing to me. But I like the sound of this name either way!

Rebekah Jayne...ruins it for me. Rebekah is definitely a legitimate spelling, but not one I care for. And pairing it with a kre8tyv spelling of Jane doesn't boost that for me, either.

I've never really thought of Jayne as a creative spelling, ever since I heard of this old time actress with that name from the 1930's, I believe. She made it seem classy for me. I like Rebekah because it is the spelling in the bible. It looks lovely.

Jayne Mansfield was actually born Vera Jane... but she changed the spelling for Hollywood, and eventually dropped Vera.

She was known as Jayne though, and she made me love the variant.

You might prefer that pronunciation, but it's still an incorrect pronunciation.
