Stephanie nn Stevie / Stephie

[OctopusFTM]

Thoughts?

not keen, but it's a normal enough name that I wouldn't think twice about it when not specifically asked my opinion.

I really like Stephanie and think it's due a comeback. It would be a refreshing change. I'd use Steph as nickname. Not keen on Stevie.

Not Stevie

I think nicknames are so much nicer when they develop organically, rather than being predetermined.

Pretty much every Stephanie I know is Steph. Stephanie is an unremarkable name. I don't like Stevie.

I quite like it and quite like Stevie too.

I love Stevie ! Prefer it to Stephanie.

I think most Stephanies will have their name shortened to Steph by other people

I love Stevie as a pet form of Stephanie!
DH wasn’t keen, despite having suggested Thomasin/Tom and Jaqueline/Jack.

I love it.

Stephanie isn't my cup of tea, but it's nice enough. Sure beats the the current trend of super feminine Daisy/Poppy/Lily. Stevie is a great nickname.

Not Stevie...just don’t like it at all....Steph is ok

Stevie is a fab name. Stevie Nicks

Stephanie is nice enough.
Ticks all my boxes, including being well known enough that people won't say "What?" when you giv your name, but used fairly rarely so there won't be lots of people with your name in everything you every go to. Easy to spell and to read off a list
I don't think 'Stevie' works, but you can call her what you want in your own home., although 'Steph' is what everyone else will call her.

Lovely - the full Stephanie is retro pretty (reminds me of names like Angela and Valerie), while nickname Stevie is funky/cool (Stevie Nicks and all). They are very different styles of name to me, so she can pick which she prefers when older, which is nice.

Quite liking Stephanie in a ’70s revival kind of way. Much better than some of the twee, insipid names that are currently on trend - makes me think rock chick. And Stevie is a much nicer, and cooler, nickname than Steph IMO.

Like Stevie but couldn’t use Stephanie as I really dislike Steph

Hmmm Stephanie, Danielle, Michaela, Georgina. All those perky preppy eighties names. Not sure they are ready to return just yet

I love Stevie as a nn for Stephanie. Works well for the amazing Stevie Nicks!

At least it's not another Sophia or Arabella.

I like Stevie. There was a Stevie in some horsey books I read as a kid and she was cool. Plus Nicks!

But it's hard to direct a nickname.
