What do you think of baby girl...

[glowwormsunite]

Deborah? That spelling...not Debra, not to be shortened to Debbie (if possible - I know I can't control this with friends in the future, etc!!). Just Deborah?

Love it

And I want a new baby girl (not going to happen!) so I can call her Gloria .

Nice to see the old names coming back. I'm from a generation where the name was quite common. They were mostly shortened to Debbie but I know one who has always been called by her full name.

You can always call her Deborah in full but have to accept her friends will call her Debbie unless SHE tells them not to.

CaioNi: Teddy Robinson! I loved Teddy Robinson! On my bed I had my first doll called Deborah and my first teddy who was called Robinson Teddy (for some reason). I can see the line drawings in my mind's eye now. I'm talking late 50s early 60s edition. Ah I've enjoyed remembering that, thank you!

Yep, I like it. It's Biblical, so will always be pretty timeless - whether or not it's very current - and it has a lovely rhythm to it. I'm not keen on Debbie or Debs, though. Bee is lovely!

My sister is called Deborah she 45 and there was as few in her generation but haven't heard it since

Love it.

I'd call her dee for short
