Rebekka

In Japan, the name レベッカ is strongly associated with a popular 1980s synth-pop band of the same name, which helped make the sound of the name familiar to the general public.
While written in katakana, a Japanese person named レベッカ might choose custom kanji characters to give the name a traditional Japanese meaning, such as 'beauty' or 'flower'.
Because Japanese lacks a 'v' sound, the name is written with ベ ('be'), making it sound like 'Re-be-kka' to an English speaker.
