OP, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?[/quote]

Op- isn't it obvious? Trying to figure out which spelling we should use for our baby. We like the name but it has about a dozen spelling variations, and I am curious what others find easiest, pleasant, etc.[/quote]

No, sorry, it isn't obvious at all why you are looking for a Hebrew name when it seems no one in your family speaks it. Or why you want to avoid the one and only actual spelling for that name.

op- well you see, there was this thing that happened to my husband's family. Maybe you have heard of it, it was called the holocaust. His family escaped germany and moved to america eventually. His grandma was so traumatized as it happened when she was a young girl, that eventually she and her (also jewish) husband decided to convert to christianity bc they lived in a small midwestern town due to his job and didn't want to stick out. I believe in pride in one's culture and as we still have jewish family members (his grandma was the only one who converted) so i don't actually think it is misguided or strange to choose a hebrew name. And actually there are many spelling variations acceptes besides the "one and only" you seem to be thinking of.[/quote]
