Help[Opinions] Re: Stephanie
in reply to a message by Sadie-Janae
I don't like it. My husband ADORES this name. It was a battle every time to take it off the table for us.
The "steph" sound bothers me, but I can get past it. I think the "ph" spelling also puts me off.
Stefanie is considered "less classy" a spelling for some reason, and Stefania pretentious or "Jersey Shore" (to use NYers).
I guess I just don't like the many opinions on this name and felt like I would have to justify the choice constantly.
That said, it is recognizable, solid, and pretty to look at. It's a totally usable name, and would be a nice reprieve from all the Sophias to see today.
I imagine it will be in vogue again in 20 years or so.
