Help[Opinions] Re: Stephanie
in reply to a message by Billina
It doesn't have the sounds I like. I generally don't care for more than one crash/hiss/splash sound (sh, ch, ck, st, ft, soft th, sometimes j, sometimes t and s) per name. I feel the same about Stefan and Cynthia. And, it was pretty common in my peer group (born in the early 70s in California) and I didn't like any of the girls named it.
However, much like Tiffany and Cynthia and Stefan / Stephen etc, I think it's a really good dignified name and can't find a lot of fault with it outside my personal taste and experience. I think it's a far far better name than, say, Mattea or Hadley or Piper and if I were going to be born today I'd rather be named Stephanie than any name currently in the top 20 (counting the frequency of Emily and Sophia against them).
