Love it 👍🏻

Strokethefurrywall · 13/06/2017 18:26

I love it! One of my cousins' names, I had it on my list (before we knew DS2 was a boy) with the nickname Stevie. Very cute.

Stef18 · 13/06/2017 16:06

I am a Stephanie, but have always been called Stef - I love it (biased obvs.) but there are so many permutations to the name, both in nicknames and spelling, that it's a great name to choose! :)

Makes me think of young and jolly Edwardian ladies, but I suppose that's because the only one I've known is Stiffy Byng who appears in a few P.G. Wodehouse stories. Are they not all like that then? Grin

I agree that it's not "dated", just never wildly popular or fashionable.
Not one of my favourites, sorry.

grufallosfriend · 13/06/2017 14:11

Lovely classy name! Makes a refreshing change from all the cutesy Poppies, Evies and Ellies

SuperBeagle · 12/06/2017 22:48

Outdated and boring. Not a fan at all.

Sophronia · 12/06/2017 22:47

It has a very pretty sound. I'd much rather hear of a baby Stephanie than a Lily-May or Poppy.

PhyllisNights · 12/06/2017 22:41

I've been put off Stephanie since Stephanie Davis started hitting the tabloids in the last few years for her troubled relationships.

buttercup54321 · 12/06/2017 22:34

I know a baby one. very sweet

Umpteenthnamechange · 12/06/2017 22:29

Mans name feminised

Urgghh

Calyrical · 12/06/2017 22:26

I am convinced now I am old.

I am going to start seeing a resurgence of Leanne, Michelle, Lee and Darren soon!

Steph(Annie)

I love the name Stephanie but hate Steph.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 12/06/2017 22:23

How on earth do you get Annie from Stephanie?

StephANNIE.

MikeUniformMike · 12/06/2017 22:21

How on earth do you get Annie from Stephanie?

BikeRunSki · 12/06/2017 22:20

Awesome, its much nicer than my actual name

Calyrical · 12/06/2017 22:16

I'm not a fan. Very 80s and lends itself to 'Steffffffffff'

poorbuthappy · 12/06/2017 22:16

Bikerunski. You are now an honorary Stephanie. Enjoy.

poorbuthappy · 12/06/2017 22:15

Never got called Fanny ever

Bibs2014 · 12/06/2017 22:15

I've always liked it, especially with the nn Stevie.

BikeRunSki · 12/06/2017 22:14

Sorry poor, I'm not a Stephanie, I just meant that my name comes up for discussion on here quite often. It ranges from being a "lovely classic", "dull" to "scullery maid name".

SteppingOnToes · 12/06/2017 22:14

Really sorry but it is my sisters name and she got teased for it at school and called Fanny.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 12/06/2017 22:12

I really don't know why, but I've always associated the name Stephanie with BO Confused

Even though I've never even known a Stephanie, let alone one who had BO Confused

RuthB4 · 12/06/2017 22:10

I love it!

FreeNiki · 12/06/2017 22:09

I really like it.
