[Opinions] Re: Deborah and Debra
in reply to a message by )(
Deborah suffered from its own popularity, back in the 1950s where I live. I like it a lot; one of the few biblical names that I don't have an instant biblical association with, and I love the idea of an ancient-world Deborah sitting under a tree and judging Israel! The only nn I enjoy is Deb; Debby and Debs are quite simply awful.
Debra is ludicrous. I don't see the point of naming a human child after female underwear. Debra, and her siblings Detights and Despencer - I suppose Despencer could be the boy. Why anyone ever needed to dumb a perfectly ordinary name like Deborah to something as silly as Debra is quite beyond me.
