Oh my gosh - us too!! With a 12 letter last name, that was DH's requirement for J's name... it had to the common spelling and short! And we STILL have to spell out Jacob - even if I say, "Jacob, common spelling"... I get the same for Rebecca... how many times have I seen Rebbeckah in my lifetime... geez!
