Kirsten DeBear: Hello, my name is Kirsten DeBear, first name spelled K-I-R-S-T-E-N, and pronounced KEER-sten, not KUR-sten or KRIH-sten. It is a Danish name, originating from Christina. DeBear is probably a misspelling of the Dutch last name DeBeer, spelled D-E-B-E-E-R. That name is associated with diamonds or may lead one's thoughts to the drink beer.
I appreciate being associated with the animal bear. So I'm Kirsten DeBear.
