How do you pronounce vs. Rebecca / Rebekah?

You would think this would be a simple name to pronounce, but I’ve actually heard it pronounced 3 different ways. They are: 1. Ruh-beh-kuh (the most common), 2. Ree-beh-kuh, and 3. Reh-beh-kuh. I’m not great at spelling pronunciations, so you can ignore the last part of the name if you want; I’m mostly interested in how you pronounced that first part...Ruh, Ree (long E sound), or Reh (short E sound). And I don’t mean how should it be pronounced, but how do you personally pronounce it? Thanks.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
