Stevie for a girl?!

[Littleheart5]

Thoughts?! I can’t decide whether it’s cute or awful! Not Stephanie btw, just Stevie

That's what I've always wanted to call my DD (if/when i have one). Nobody I know likes it but I love it x

Not my cup of tea but not horrendous (though Stephanie is).

Stevie would not be out of place with the more popular Evies, Mileys etc.

If you like it, go for it OP.

I think it's cute.

I love it. Reminds me of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac.

I like it as a nickname but there's no way of shortening it if she doesn't like it later in life, other than Steve. If she finds it too masculine then she's buggered. I don't like Stephanie though so I wouldn't pick that instead and shorten it.

I really like it and considered calling DD is because DH is Steven but decided it was a bit much with them both together!

My bestie at juniors was a girl stevie. Never heard it again. Just reminds me of a lovely pal 😊

I just love it

All positive is nice! Agree that Stephanie isn’t great, hence just using the nickname. Although I take the point that she would have no options after that!!

Love

I grew up with a Stevie. For a while, she went by Evie, but went back to Stevie.

I love it, and would love to use it if I didn’t have a male best friend with it!

I'm going to break the pattern here and say I hate it

I usually love tomboy names for girls, for example I love Billie but I have to admit I can not stand Stevie even for a boy.

Can I ask why kitty? I’m slightly concerned it’s a bit chavvy (sorry for use of that word but can’t think of another way to say it!!)

Reminds me of Stevie from madam secretary, always thought it was great.

I thought I'd hate it, but on thinking about it I quite like it.

I know a both a little girl and little boy called Stevie so it's not totally obscure. I think it's great and wouldn't worry about options. Things will be very different when our kids are looking for jobs and non traditional names won't even register as unusual.

First thought is it would be cute. I think it would be better if it was a nickname for something else, but it's still nice. Only little issue is it sounds like skeevy.... But that's not a big problem.

Reminds me of Stevie Nicks, and the Stevie B perfume from the '70s.
So it's a 'yes' from me, OP.

Love it. I know a delightful young lady (known since childhood) with that name, so I guess I have positive thoughts about the name. And, Stevie Nicks, obvs. She's cool too.

If you wouldn’t call a boy Evie, don’t call a girl Stevie.

Baby girl called Stevie in 'the let down'. Great Australian series about new mums. I like it.

I knew a Stevie a few years ago. Her real name was Stevana I think which I had never heard of before. I like it, but you would be setting her up for a lifetime of "What is it short for?" in my opinion, OP

Stevie is cute and works fine for a girl.

Another one thinks of Stevie Nicks, who is a total legend - go for it

I would assume she was a boy tbh. It's not an obvious unisex name like Riley or Bayley or apparently Aubrey judging by the other thread...
