A sister for S

[Purpleyrainbow]

Looking for some suggestions for names for DD2.

DD1 is Stephanie (Stevie).

She’s almost exclusively called Stevie and corrects people that call her Stephanie.

I think names like Jennifer (Jenny)
Jacqueline (Jacqui)
Deborah (Debbie)

have a similar vibe and vintage to Stephanie

Edit: or go the whole hog and have another name that is a version of a boys name like Charlotte (Charlie/Lottie), although, for my taste Stevie and Charlie is a bit twee.

Francesca (Frankie)
Jessica (Jessie)

Don't know if I’m being too themed! I would think lots of names would work with Stephanie/Stevie. What other sort of names do you like?

The young Stephanie I know has a sister called Tomasin, and they are Stevie and Tommie - both girly girls, both named after their grandads (Stephen and Thomas)!

Harriet (Harri)
Charlotte (Charlie)

I agree. I like Charlotte and my Grandfather was Charlie, but agree it’s a bit too much for them together 🙈

I do love Stevie for a girl (but agree you needed Stephanie as a full name)

Love Stephanie.

From your list I think Imogen and Phillipa works best (I prefer Imogen).

Other suggestions
Josephine (Stevie and Josie)
Jessica (Stevie and Jessie)
Christine (Stevie and Chrissy)
Samantha (Stevie and Sammy)

Really like Sadie, considering Kate as a middle name in honour of my grandmother

Partner really likes Josephine/Josie. We know a lovely one and I think that sways him haha.

I love Imogen but worry it’s maybe more popular than we want. Although I don’t think it’s super common at the minute

My little girl was very nearly Josephine/Josie so I'm biased but I think it suits all ages

Stevie and...
Katherine (Katie, Kate, Kath)
Elizabeth (Ellie, Lizzie, Beth, Elsie, Libby...)
Emilia (Milly)
Louisa
Corinne (Coco)
Hannah
Caroline (Carrie)
Marianne (Marnie)
Rebecca (Becky, Becca or Becs are the obvious nicknames but I used to know a Rebecca who went by Rebbie)
Antonella (Annie, Anna, Toni, Nell, Nellie)

Josephine - Josie / Jonie was my first thought too.

Philippa (Pippa) and Imogen (Genny) go really nicely, from your list. I love Alice, Erin and Nerys too - they don’t “go” quite as well but I don’t think that’s the most important consideration.

Apologies if these have already been suggested, but how about

Natalie
Caroline - Callie
Marceline - Marcie
Harriet - Hattie
Rosemary - Romy
Georgina - Ginny / Georgie
Helena - Nell

caroline (Callie/ coco/ Cora)
Juliet (jules)
Penelope (Penny/ Nell)
Philippa (Pippa/ piper)
Cassandra (Cassie)
Louisa (Lulu)
Catherine (Kitty)
Josephine (Josie, posy, Joni)

Eleanor (Ella, Nora, Nell, Nellie, Lena)

Stevie is super cool and Stephanie is an underused (now) classic.

It’s funny you mentioned it but I instantly thought of Josephine as similar- but with the cool nn Effie or Joni rather than cuter Josie. (Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell!)

My second idea for cool nn vibes was Kit/Kitty - as both Christine/a or Catherine would work for the longer version and have the same traditional 70’s/80’s style as Stephanie.

Maybe also Antonia with the nn Annie (Lennox) or Nina (Simone)? Sorry about the singer/songwriter thing 🤣
