What are your honest opinions on Stephanie?

[Chocolatie]

Thank you

Love it. Always been a fave and due a revival.

A bit dated maybe? But then one of my very best friends is Stephanie so I have a soft spot for the name.

Love it. Its definitely due a come back

I know a few children and many adults. I like Steph and Stephie but not Stephanie.

One friend used to say people called her fanny when she a child...

I like it. It lends itself to the abbreviations Stevie and Annie, which are both great. It was on our list had DS been a DD for this reason.

I also like the full name.

Love it but vetoed by my DH for current bump !

I like it!

Horrible, sorry.

Boring and frumpy. Like Paula. A man's name feminised.

I really like it. It sounds fractionally dated, but is a fairly classic name and is surely due a revival.

horrible.

I love it, especially Stephie for short.

I've disliked that name my entire life, however I'm coming around to it. It's certainly better than some of the names from that era.

It always reminds me of the pool attendant in The Day Today, 'STEPHANIEEE! STEPHANIEEE! STEPHANIEEEE! Free swim...'

I realise this puts me in a small minority of MNers who've actually seen this

Love it and know a 3 year old Stephanie. It's a pretty name.

It's ok, bit dated. Better than Violet and Mabel etc.

Vom

Ruined for me by dd watching endless lego friends and being obsessed with Stephanie because she's blonde like her and name rhymes, otherwise I like it

I love it but am biased as named dd it!! though shes a stephie to nearly everyone. I love all the 60s/70s American sounding names like judy, jane, Penelope etc.. I alos like individual names and have yet to meet another kid called Stephanie.

I wonder why it didn't catch on again in the Lazy Town years.

I rather like it, possibly because I know a lovely one in RL

We'd have considered it for DD, but there's already one in the family, and it was easier to entirely rule out names of family members rather than get into an argument about favouritism!

I love it but can't use it. It would give her lots of name options and its pretty.

I really like it, love Steph and Stevie.

I don't think it's particularly dated, I just think it's never been hugely popular, but yes, I like it. In fact, I wish I'd thought of it myself now!

Dated, sorry.

I'm not mad about it, but that may be because I know a few from my own generation. Not that they're horrible people or anything, just hard to imagine it on a child.
