Not weird, just seriously dated, like Peggy-Sue and Billie-Jean and Mary-Ann. Debby is unattractive anyway compared to Deborah, and Liz and Lisa are being replaced by Beth and even Betsy. When you decided on her names, which I really like, you must have had some ideas on what she'd be called (as opposed to named). I suppose she might, just might, look like a Debby-Liz, but to me it's long past its sell-by and also down-market.

Livin in the southern US, I don't find Debby-Liz a weird name, but "down-market"? Nicely put...altho in this town she'd likely be a bleachy-blonde 50ish real estate agent with too much gold jewelry and an E-Class Mercedes...

OK, make that PSYCHOLOGICALLY down-market!

I don't agree with you. I think it's cute and one Debbie-Liz looks great in a room full of Madyson's, MacKenzie's, and Isabela's.
