Debra vs. Deborah

Hi! We need some real help in deciding how to spell our daughter’s name. We will definitely pronounce it deb-ra, not deb-uh-ra as I’ve heard some people do, so I think that the Debra spelling keeps it simpler, makes our prefered pronounciation more obvious and we usually favour shorter names so it’s more likely to fit with any future children we might have. However, my husband likes the more "classic" feel of Deborah and the link to Deborah Kerr, who’s one of his favourite actresses. Which spelling do you think we should use?
Which baby name is best?

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.
