Is it said like "deh- BOR- ah" or "DEB-rah"?

As ari says above: DEB-ə-rə. When it's two syllables it seems like an early version of dumbing down a not very complicated spelling. And here in South Africa the Afrikaans pronunciation is de-BOOER-ah, with the OOER sounding like oo-er, the expression of surprise and guilt!
