Hello!
Two significant names that we want to use (and love, obviously) are Iris and Deborah.

We were thinking Iris Deborah, but now we are thinking would Deborah Iris be better?
Thoughts please!
Thank you 😊

Deborah is so much nicer - and more unusual. Or, Devorah, the Jewish version, means Bee

Deborah was popular in the 50s and 60s.
Iris is back in fashion.
Deborah Iris sounds better.
Dont like Debbie or Debs.

Deborah Iris. Deborah is a classic biblical name and it would be wonderful to see on a little one IMHO.

Debbie or Dora are nice 🥰 because they don’t have the “Bore” (as in boring or a pig) and “bra” sounds that Deborah does. Honestly Deborah in full is one of the worst sounding names I’ve come across.

I think Deborah Iris flows better and would be an unusual name for her.

My name is Deborah and people always ask first before shortening it and quite a few people use my full name. It's not a common name and I've never been bullied or had silly nick names. I vote for Deborah Iris.

Definitely Deborah. Iris is way too common and unimaginative. You'll be ahead of the curve with your lovely little baby Deborah Smile
