Names

So someone comes and writes down this word ‘Deborah’ and asks me to read it out
I say De-boo-ra
He says No!
It ‘s De-b-ra
I say that’s spelt Debra
Deborah may also be said Di-boo-ra, I say
He insists and asks the rest of my colleagues who read it more or less the same way I did and they all don not agree that it reads Debra
Where we ended is quite interesting

If Deborah reads Debrah, then do you know how we’ll now be spelling the name of the black & white striped cousin of the horse….

Zeborah

Seriously, we asked him to go and get someone to read him her story in Judges 4 & 5.
