i've suddenly started to like this name a lot, though it didn't appeal to me at all before. now taking a second look, i love a few things about it- how it's not frilly or soft sounding like many common women's names; the meaning (which one commenter explained isn't just cutesy, but means to be orderly like a bee, and come from a root meaning "to arrange" or "to speak", and sometimes used in reference to "Divine Word"); and the Biblical character being a prophet.
i'm still a little iffy though. partly because it's such a disliked name nowadays, and even sounds funny to people. also
Ray Romano's voice haunts me.
but wdyt of
Deborah?
