HelpRe: Deborah
in reply to a message by Lily8
We are on the same page. For months I have said Deborah should come back, but only with that spelling and with the nickname Deb or better yet Debs and not Debbie. Debs is one of those old nicknames that became obscure, and I think it is quite spunky and should be resurrected.
It is a 50's name, but has Biblical roots, and is really classic feeling to me.
And for babies today it stands out. I don't want it to comeback to the extent it did in the 50's, but I would love to see it used more.
The name has staying power too. I was born in the 70's, but still know quite a few peers named Deborah. Most of them go by Debbie, but I have an old friend who was Debbie as a child, and then at some point in High School transitioned to Deb. But I met her when she was 11 or 12, and still think of her as Debbie.
