[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, I’m still working through my girl’s list and trying to narrow down which combos I like best. Today’s name is [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]. I think it’s fun, bright, and a bit sporty. I love the 80s/90s vibes but I also tend to try to balance my combos so that the names complement each other - like putting an older name with a newer, fresher middle to balance each other out. I’m looking for something a bit unexpected to keep [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] sounding more lively and fresh.
Any input on these [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] combos is appreciated. Which ones are your favorites? Which don’t work at all? Why or why not? Rank them from fave to least fave, make a love/like/lose list, describe the combo with emojis or words, etc.!
I feel like I like these all, but none of them stand out to me as the one. I do have a tentative favorite, but I’d rather see what people think before stating it. But also I wonder if I should perhaps I should keep looking?
You have a great list – [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Alix[/name_u] is my favorite here. [name_u]Alix[/name_u] really adds an extra spark to [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]!
I also like [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Promise[/name_u], and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Sabine[/name_f]. I don’t really have a least favorite as I think they all work well. If pressed, [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] is a little sing-songy, but not in deal-breaker way if that’s your favorite. And [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lissette[/name_f] don’t feel as fresh to me as I think you’re going for.
I love [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]!
I think [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lissette[/name_f] are my top three on your list.
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Alix[/name_u] - unexpected but zippy
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] - warm and rugged - also, the meanings, crown/wreath/garland and laurel, work in my head.
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] - sharp and bright
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] - this has a pleasing sound and vibe.
I quite like most of your ideas here - the only one that doesn’t work in my head is [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] - they’re a bit rhymey, a bit tongue-twistery for me.
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Charlene[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] came to mind too
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite has to be [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] because of the matchy meanings, and they sound so nice together! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
Others I love:
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
@VEL I didn’t want to sway anyone’s opinion but [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Alix[/name_u] was the one I was feeling as well! I currently have [name_u]Alix[/name_u] on my list as a middle for another name, so I was debating if I should choose another [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] combo, change the other combo, or just put both on my list. Thank you for your input!
@may.rose [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] are so pretty! Realistically if I were to ever have a child her middle name would likely incorporate [name_u]June[/name_u] as that was my g-gma’s name. [name_u]Dove[/name_u] isn’t normally my style either but it sounds really lovely with [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]!
@sammaegre Thanks for your input! [name_f]Glad[/name_f] to see [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lissette[/name_f] get some love, that one was kind of my wildcard
@greyblue Good point about the [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] connection… I never would’ve really noticed that! [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] is really quite nice too, and I see what you mean about [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]. Perhaps I’ll nix that one haha
@persephonescrown Thanks for your input!! I love the emojis because that’s pretty much exactly how I was envisioning them too!
