Stevie for a girl??

I have two DCs called Louis and Robyn. My husband is a Robert Louis Stevenson lover (though the names of our DCs are coincidental) and he thinks it would be funny to name our DD (due in November!) Stevie as a funny little homage to his favourite author.
While I have names I prefer, Stevie is growing on me but I don't know how common it is as a girls' name and I don't want her to be bullied.
Also is it ridiculous to have our three children be called Robyn, Louis and Stevie? Seems a bit obvious, so I'm not sure. But since Louis is the eldest they've always been Louis and Robyn rather than Robyn and Louis.

Would love some advice!

As someone called Stevie, whenever I tell someone my name their initial reaction is always ‘like Stevie Nicks!’

Since Schitt’s Creek there has been a lot of little Stevies and Twylas.

All my dcs have very traditional names. However I love the name Stevie and would have used it if I’d had any more children.

I know this is a zombie thread but I do still adore the name Stevie for a girl
I don’t think I would be brave enough to use it, only because we’re on a council estate and it might come across thugish and blokey- rather than Stevie nicks vibes.

I really like it, does remind me of Stevie in Miranda though.

Fine with people calling a baby girl Stevie. So long as they also called a baby boy Rosie.
