| It looks like a version of "Deborah" which means "The Bee". I don't
know its origin, but that is the name my husband and I have chosen for
our first-born daughter (when the time comes).

| I prefered to name my daughter DEBORA (without an H) because when you
choose a name from the Old Testment it brings good luck to the kid if
it has 6 letters - they correspond to the 6 edges of the David star.
Even being Catholic myself I complied with this tradition ... Luck -
the more you have the better, so I made my contribution in this aspect.

| Hmmmm.....that was interesting! I didn't know that.
Well, "Deborah" has 7 letters, and traditionally 7 is a lucky number!
;^)
I just know that I didn't want the spelling "Debra" (no offense to any
Debra's out there - I just prefer the fuller spelling).
One other question...do you pronounce it DEB-br-rah or deb-BOR-rah?

| My name has always been pronounced "De -BOR- ah"
The name is English, and as said before means "The Bee", meaning
industrious, hardworking.
Rgds,
Deborah

| I'm a Deborah too, but my name has always been
pronounced "Deb-br-ra". Personaly I have always
like to be called Deb or Debbie much better.
Just my 2 pennies...
"Deb" :-)

| 730.7 | 2 more Debbie's | SKIVT::BOWERS | Gary A. Bowers - BTO Process ME | Thu Sep 12 1991 12:37 | 12 |
| Well, I guess I'll add my 2 cents as well.
My mother's name is Deborah, which has always been pronounced DEB-or-ah.
And my wife's name is Debra, pronounced DEB-ra.
- with the accent on the first syllables.
They both prefer Deb or Debbie; and I agree that the industrious, hardworking,
strong-willed label fits them well.

| I think I read somewhere that "Debbie" was the most common girls name
in 1957 (which would account for all of us thirtysomething Debbie's).
I didn't think anyone named their kids Debbie anymore! When I was a
kid, I hated the name, which I guess is normal for kids. I like it
now, although I usually prefer to be called Deb. My mother liked short
names so she spelled it Debra. I think the longer spelling Deborah
looks prettier, even though it's pronounced the same.
