Thanks for the response.
Your right, it isn't a natural nickname, but really most people called
Stephanie naturally get there name shortened to
Steph, and not anything else. And I despise
Steph, it's the reason why I went back to
Stevie in the first place. Plus I think most people would agree that in this day and age
Fannie is a thousand times worse than
Effie.
I also agree with your last statement, both names are cool and
Stephanie, under normal circumstances doesn't need to be shortened. However, my last name happens to be longer than
Stephanie, so I think you could understand my reasonings behind wanting a different, shorter nickname.
