Ladies and other moms, I'm pregnant with a girl and I think the name Debora is really beautiful, but my husband thinks it's too common. What do you all think?

Ladies and other moms, I'm pregnant with a girl and I want to name her Debora. I've always had a soft spot for this name, but my husband says he finds it too common and not original enough. I know, of course, that it's ultimately our decision, but we've had a bit of an impasse. So I thought I'd ask you all: if enough people here think it's beautiful enough to give to a child, he might agree. But if more people vote that it's too ordinary and not lovely enough for your baby, then we'll go with something else he likes. Sorry for my long explanation, and I'd love to hear your opinions. Best, Achnieta

    I'm due on December 10th, so I'd like to have her name decided now.

    Does he have a preference for a name? Then we can see which one is the most beautiful. Greetings!

    Hi Callie, thanks for your message. He has a name he likes more for our girl: Fleur. He says himself that you hear that name quite often, but he likes it more than Deborah because he thinks Fleur sounds more lively. Greetings, Achnieta

    And further, he thinks Milene is very pretty, but I think Debora is nice for our girl. What do you all think?

    I don't think Debora is wrong at all. I don't really hear it that often, whereas Fleur is heard a lot more. I think Debora is more original, that's my opinion.

    A variant that sounds like Debora, Zipora.. It's not so well-known and is original. Milene or Milena is also very beautiful! Hopefully, you'll figure it out. Love, sweetheart

    Thank you so much, Vicky, for your response! I don’t think Zipora is that beautiful, but thanks for the idea. My husband will be home soon, so I’ll show him your opinions. I’m happy to read that Vicky finds Debora pretty and more original than Fleur. Greetings, Achnieta.

    I think it's a lovely name and I know the name, but no one in my circle is called that.

    Good luck with your decision.

    Hi ladies, thanks for your thoughts on this name and your positive reactions. My husband read it too and he agreed. It's going to be Debora. I'm so happy. Greetings, Achnieta
