Middle Name vs. For Rivka vs. pronounced RIHV-ka

Alright. Not quite as overwhelmed just still not sure. We’ve cut some names from our list of middle names for Rivka, and we’re almost certain we’re spelling it Rivka instead of Rivkah. My husband is still not really ’sold’ on any of the middle names but he hasn’t vetoed any of these ones outright either. Rivka comes from רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly" and it is the Hebrew form of the name Rebekah who is the wife of Yitzhak- or as you’d recognize the name Isaac, in case anyone needed to know where it’s from. We’ve chosen this name for many reasons, not the least of which because I am totally in love with it. Suggestions for middle names that would be perfect are welcome. Middle names we have in first comment along with how they are likely to be pronounced by people around us (families, friends, etc) and their meanings. ~Sarai~

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.
