Yip
Explanation:
"Yip" is the most common English spelling for 腑. Rarley, people choose to go by "Yeh" (as in 腑ゅ, a famous Hong Kong singer) or "Ip." I have never seen "Jip" used, but it is possible someone uses that as well.

As for , the standard spelling is "Yik" but I can see why someone might choose "Yib."

I understand your frustration; even one of the most common Chinese surnames, 朝, can be spelled "Chan," "Chen" or even "Tan" ("Chan" being the more common).

Sorry, I don't have website references. These examples here are from my own experience and people that I know.
