Re: origins and meanings of Debia Tegan Cade
Names meanings are really what you think they are. So if you like a name, it's positive for you, however many idiots, criminals and suburban housewives have borne it before. Bees seem busy and productive to you; what about a Debra who's allergic to their stings? Tegan or Teagan is quite fashionable at the moment, and so is Cade, so you're clearly in touch with the trends. Let that be enough! Change away, and enjoy your new image. Just remember - it is image, not reality. You are who you are.

What a refreshing approach! Thank you. I've been scouring the Internet, worrying that I'm going to take on some unsuitable traits by choosing the wrong name. I never thought of bee-allergic Debras, but I'm sure there are plenty of them out there. Thanks for the new perspective. BTW, I was using different names as I posted different messages, trying to keep the name in sync with the messages, but was asked to stop doing that. Duh - I didn't mean to cause problems. So from here on out, I'll sign in as Deb.
