Re: Stephanie
I don't think it feels different from other 80s names. It feels really really dated, I know so many girls with this name. It's a dated classic, I would put it in the same category as Amanda, Alicia or Amy. I actually like the full name but I think it would be hard to enfore as all of the girls I know by this name (and I know so many) ended up being called Steph or Stephi and I just really don't like these nicknames.It would be unexpected but not in an 'oh that's nice' kind of way but more in a 'wow by your name I would have guessed you to be 30 years older' kind of way. I guess many people here were born in the 80s/90s it would kind of be as if our parents had named us Deborah, Susan, Diane or Pamela. Now these names are starting to sound nice again because I guess they will make a comeback in the next 30 years or so but back then I definitely wouldn't have appreciated a 'mom name' like that.
