There was one Stephanie in my school class. Her older sister was Valerie. I always thought their mum showed better taste the second time around.
But just because Stephanie peaked in the '80s doesn't make it unusable - it's a classic.
Stephanie Sofia looks fine to me.

Stephanie is a nice classic. It may have been overly used about 20 to 30 years ago here in the U.S. But there wouldn't be many in the newest generation.

Stephanie Sofia is too "s" and "f" heavy for me. Sometimes I like combinations where the first letter of both names is the same, like Ivy Isabelle and Imelda Irene. :-) (I bend all sorts of rules for my beloved "i" names.) But Stephanie Sofia isn't working for me; perhaps it's the added repetition of the "f" sound. How about Stephanie Miranda, Stephanie Mariah, Stephanie Carys?

Susanna Minerva is wonderful. Love it -- it's definitely my favorite one here.

I find it really dated to the 80s/early 90s. I prefer Steph to the full name. Stephanie in full is whiney to me but I think if it wasn't so dated this board would be all over it, seeing how similiar it is to Persephone etc. Stepping back from its popularity it looks a teensy bit exotic but it's just so common it's completely boring to me.

Stephanie Sofia is pretty but I think the sounds are too much.

It's considered an 80's name in the US. I knew a few of them growing up, and while they were nice girls, I can't say I cared for their name. It sounds like "stuffing."

Stephanie Sofia is all right. I also like Susanna Minerva.
