Re: Deborah or Debra?
in reply to a message by Rae
Deborah by a long shot. Debra is a creative spelling invented during the name's spike in popularity in the 1950s, and therefore is an example of "dated trendiness". Deborah, on the other hand, is the traditional spelling, and stands the test of time. You should spell the name Deborah if you plan on using the name these days. By the way, Deborah is one of those dated names that I like so much!

Yes, you actually like it?! That makes me so happy. Most of the people I've talked to don't like it very much. What names do you like with it, either as a middle or first name for Deborah?

Yes, one of my favorite categories of names are names that most people find too dated, especially dated girl's names. I've not really given any thought about names to go with Deborah, though.Just to let you know, my two big favorite categories of names are dated names (especially for girls) and unisex names for boys. I like names that most kids would not like to have!
