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.

i actually like Debbie. there was a very kind neighbor called that when i was a kid who told stories about her parrots and cats, and who drove me to school a few times in her car that was covered with punk memorabilia on the inside (w/ a lot of curse words that was cool to 13 year old me). it also reminds me of Debbie Reynolds and Debbie Harrie. and a cartoon character i loved as a kid.
yeah though Debra is a very unattractive spelling but..i'd rather not think about those sisters lol.
