HelpRe: Deborah
in reply to a message by irene
It's an excellent name with two big problems.
One is Debby, or Debbie, or - shudder! - Debbi. They should all go away at their owner's 5th birthday party and never come back; but they don't. For this reason, it's preferable to use Deborah as a mn unless you're unusually strong-minded.
The other is Debra. I really cannot find a good word to say about it: it always launches dark fantasies about a family of sisters: Debra, and then Depanty, Deslip, Decamisole and finally (named after their great-aunt) Decorset.
