Let's Talk About Stephanie!

Disclaimer: not TTC or expecting, just name collecting :slight_smile:

I’ve loved the name Stephanie since I was a little girl - it’s always felt so sweet to me, and I view it as a bit classic - it’s been in the US top 1000 for over 100 years. I’d love to have a little Stephanie someday, but I know a lot of people view it as very 70s/80s/90s (depending on who you ask).

I guess I have a couple of questions I’d like to ask about Stephanie;

  1. I love short, sweet, 1-2 syllable middles (think fillers and flowers! Grace, Lily, Ava, Eva, Marie, Rae, Mae, etc.). Are there any that can maybe update Stephanie a little bit? I did like Stephanie Renee but that does feel very 1980s.
  2. What would you suggest as a sister name to Stephanie?

Names we can’t use: Amy, Tanya, Charlotte, Makayla, Molly, Vanessa, Megan, Kendra, Ashley, Amanda, Casey, Hailey, Elizabeth

Thank you!

I actually like Stephanie a lot, though I would personally use it with the nn Stevie. I think its a nice choice for a girl :slight_smile:

Some combos ideas:
Stephanie Quinn
Stephanie Cora
Stephanie Lola
Stephanie June
Stephanie Lynn
Stephanie Rosa
Stephanie Bee

I would name Stephanie’s sisters: Carey, Veronica, Bridger, Mary, Keegan/Regan, Caroline, Frankie & Hannah.

Hope you like some of these :slight_smile:

I come from that generation and I knew A LOT of Stephanies. They ALL went by Steph. Boring. However, I always liked the nickname Stevie and I’m starting to like some names that people would find boring for their generation as well (i.e. Anna, Marie, Annemarie). It could definitely be seen as fresh and different for kids being born today because they’d most likely be the only one. I do think you need to have a bit of an unexpected middle name to pull Stephanie out of he 70’s/80’s/90’s stigma, though.

Stephanie Elle
Stephanie Alice
Stephanie Iris
Stephanie Lola
Stephanie Piper
Stephanie Isla

Possible sisters: Daphne, Beatrix, Victoria, Talia, Camille, Ramona, Cassandra, Genevieve, Aurora

I knew sisters who were Rebecca, Abigail and Stephanie. I think there’s a lot of sibling options!

I’ve been back and forth with my name for a long time. When I was a kid I hated it, especially when learning to spell. Too many letters, I said. Mom suggested we change it to Mud, so that changed my tune pretty quickly. :laughing:

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], which I’ve always liked. Briefly considered changing my name to that or just going by [name_u]Brooke[/name_u].

Never really liked [name_u]Steph[/name_u] as a nickname, it always sounded so harsh to my ear. Some close family called me Stephie, but I don’t like that much either. I missed the “[name_u]Stevie[/name_u]” train entirely.

[name_f]My[/name_f] mom had [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] all picked out until I was born. Which I think makes a perfect sister to [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]. [name_f]April[/name_f] and [name_f]Katrina[/name_f] were also on the table for me.

[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_u]Harlow[/name_u], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Gisele[/name_f] all sound beautiful.

For sisters, I could see [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Maryanne[/name_f], [name_f]Danielle[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
