Girl names for the surname Stephens

51 replies

OreliaRoc · 01/08/2018 17:19

Hi all,
I will be having a baby girl in November and my DH and I are struggling with names. If you were having a baby girl and your last name was Stephens, what would you name her? My current shortlist consists of Elizabeth, Esme, Iris and Robyn but I am totally open to any suggestions. I also liked Alice but I think the 's' sound at the end blends into the 's' at the beginning of Stephens too much.
I have namechanged to try to preserve some anonymity!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thanks for all the advice and opinions, they are all really helpful. Sadly between DH's side of the family and mine there are a lot of sisters and nieces who have used quite a few of the suggested names already but there are still lots we can use here.
Next step: convincing DH he likes the same ones as me

All your names are nice but Robyn goes best with Stephens. I think you need something without an s. Disclaimer= I have a Robyn myself, it's my favourite name!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 02/08/2018 19:11

Harriet

DaniCam89 · 02/08/2018 11:10

I worked with an Alice Stevens a long time ago! I dont see the issue with the sounds really. I do see what you mean, but just do not see it as a problem. I think you're over thinking it!

Other ideas though:
Maeve
Pippa
Tanya
Freya
Marissa
Hermione
Lydia
Harriet
Evelyn
Georgia
Martha
Zara
Dina
Chloe
Verity
Ella

When I saw your thread title I was thinking Esme! Lovely name, Esme Stephens.

Robyn
Elizabeth
Maisie
Alison
Vivienne

Ok.

Fucked · 01/08/2018 23:15

Saw your post and thought of Martha.
Don't know why, but I like the sound of it with Stephens!

LoveInTokyo · 01/08/2018 23:11

I find all those names quite twee but at least an adult woman could go around saying, “Hi, I’m Daisy, nice to meet you” without people smirking.

Blossom is a whole different level of twee.

Threeandabit · 01/08/2018 23:06

Not much different to Summer, Daisy, Poppy etc in style, and they're popular enough names.

It was only a suggestion.

LoveInTokyo · 01/08/2018 23:00

Blossom is a ridiculous name.

Annabel is a good one.

Threeandabit · 01/08/2018 22:59

Wow, even more lovely suggestions. I'm not sure DH would be onboard with an S Club 7 inspired name, lovely as the name Rachel is!

I'm adding Jenna, Jennifer, Molly, Eliza and Delilah to my list. I still love the name Iris so
it's staying for now despite having the same 's' issues as Alice. It could always be baby's middle name I suppose!

OP posts:

Belindabauer · 01/08/2018 19:55

I like Elizabeth Stephens.

LoveInTokyo · 01/08/2018 19:52

Rachel Stevens was in S Club 7.
