Lydia is a really pretty Lynn alternative with the additional D and A added from Debbra.

Debbra is pretty by itself and a lovely contribution but as an alternative, using the alternate spelling of Deborah/Devorah is an option.

Debbra/Deborah means bee and there are may cute names that share the meaning! I really like Bee itself too but there's also Honey, Abbee, Queenie, etc.

I second the Lydia suggestion! it's a lovely name! 

 

Have you also considered names inspired by hers or finding a name similar? The first ones I can think of are Della, Darby, and Linnea. If you don't find a name you like that's similar in that respect, what if you used a name with the same meaning or a similar one?

 

Debbra is variant of Deborah, a name from the Old Testament meaning "bee."

And if all else fails, maybe you could find a name that relates to something your grandmother loved or connects to a memory you have with her. Let us know if you find anything you like. Best of luck!!
