stevie?

[izzydrizzy04]

i'm expecting a baby girl soon, and i really love the name stevie. as you probably already guessed, after stevie nicks. i was having doubts about using it as a full name, as it definitely seems like a boys name, and obviously her namesake is actually called stephanie. i'm not a fan of stephanie though. can stevie be a full name?

Before I clicked on your thread, my thought for a girl that is so cool. I am also a fan of Fleetwood Mac.

As an actual name, yes why not?

I love it. Not a huge Fleetwood Mac fan so for me I don't associate it with them. I just think its a fab name!

I wouldn't. Stevie is only called that because she couldn't pronounce her own name so it's a naturally occuring nick name. It seems really odd to give what is effectively a mispronunciation to your child as their actual name. I would give her name to fall back on and maybe use Stevie as a middle name incase she doesn't want to spend enternity being presumable to be male.

One of my DD's 5yo friends is called Stevie - I definitely think of it as a girls name. Very cool!

An old school acquaintance has called her daughter Stevie, she’s just over a year old. I also taught one, she’d be early/mid 20s now. So people do use it in its own right.

I prefer it as a nickname for Stephanie, Stephania, Stefania.

Or for something like Stella Violet, Esther Vivienne,

I’d personally probably use Stefani and then it has both Stevie and Gwen as influences!

I really like Stevie and don't usually care for '-ie nicknames as full names'. It's about the only one I personally think is fab on its own!

Stephanie is a perfectly lovely name but not to my taste either so I'd go for Stevie!

i have actually loved the name stella for a while, and vivienne would be cool as i'm a big fan of vivienne westwood

I suspect that Stevie Wonder would disagree with you.

I love the name Stevie. Immediately made me think of Stevie Nicks - great voice and band!

I love it!

Stella Vivienne is a beautiful, classy name and Stevie an adorable, sassy nickname. I think you may be on to a winner there!

If only I had a baby daughter to name haha!

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles honestly never even crossed my mind, but i always thought stevie wonder should've been called steve wonder anyways. stevie seems too "cute" to be a man's name.

I know 1 girl called Stevie, suits her. She's 5.

Steve Wonder 😂😂

@PerkyMintDeer i was dithering between stella and estelle, but since my name is isabelle and i don't want my child's name to rhyme with mine i'm thinking stella. i like stella with vivienne as a middle name.

I love it. Ofcourse it can be used as a full name, not just a nickname. I've never known or heard of a male Stevie, but know of a few female stevie's

He was a cute child star initially…known as “Lil Stevie Wonder”. Real name Stevland Morris. Steve is sort of a middle aged man name so I can see why they went with Stevie when he was a kid. Coincidentally my friend’s husband is Stevie and we have an Uncle Stevie in the family…I think Stevie is sort of a unisex name like Frankie, Charlie, Bobbie.

Love it. Cool name for a girl.

Also if you don't know her, the writer Stevie Smith, vv cool. Lovely name with great associations all round, IMO.

If an older person has this name, I assume boy

For a young child, I'd suspect girl.

Quite trendy!

I've always liked Stevie for a girl! Stevie Nicks/Stevie Smith are cool namesakes and Stevie is Schitts Creek is a fun character too.

My cousin is called Stevie. It's a boys name to me but many names are used for both so🤷

I knew a girl called Stevie back in the 1960s, so it has some history. She was in my school & I don't remember anyone saying what her real name was so I assumed it really was Stevie.

just looked up stevie smith and that's another great association! i'm putting stella vivienne on the birth certificate, but she'll be stevie to anyone else

Stevie is a brilliant name for a girl. Sounds strong and cool.
