I really like the name Debbie, I think it is a lot better than Deborah/Debra. I think names like Jane or Jean would make for a wonderful middle name for Debbie.

Ugh, I hate this nickname. It makes me think of ditzy girls from the 80s and middle-aged women who have horrible hairstyles and clothes.
Debbie (Deborah) Gibson was a popular teen singer in the 1980s.

"Debbie Downer" is a slang phrase that refers to someone who is frequently negative and brings down the mood of everyone around them. There was a character on SNL with this name.

There was a girl in The Amanda Show named Debbie. She was the stupid girl that always said "I like eggs".
