Re: Debbyn
I'm familiar with Dobbin as a name for a horse, so no! And Debbyn also sounds like a local pronunciation of the city of Durban. I wish she had been Deborah and used Deborah: the trouble with Deborah is the infantile and characterless Debby, which Debbyn makes more likely rather than less.

I knew Dobs and Dobby as a nn for Dobromir. Poles in an English-speaking setting.

I immediately thought of Dobbin as well. For that reason I wouldn't use it either.
