Comments for STEPHANIE:
This is my name, and I like it well enough... although I might prefer something a little more dramatic, like Stefania. ;)-- Mommy2B 4/15/2005
I really HATE this name! I just don't understand why this horrid name is so popular now.-- Anonymous User 4/26/2005
This is my name. I really like it. I don't know, I just think it's so pretty.-- Anonymous User 5/22/2005
I'm not sure I like this name - it's my name, but it's such a strange name if you think about it. All the other girls at my school are named Katie or Emma, and I'm just Stephanie.-- Anonymous User 5/23/2005
I think Stephanie is a completely boring and typical name. It doesn't seem to have much meaning behind it. So, that's why I named my daughter Eadon (it's pronounced like the Garden of EDEN, and it's Celtic for Nurse Of Poetry). I think it's a beautiful and unique name. I wish my parents would have given me something more unique to match my personality.-- punk_goddess 6/17/2005
It's a really cool name and I love being called Steph. Hardly anyone in my school is called it and I'm really proud. It's fab!-- Anonymous User 6/30/2005
This is also the name of the girl on Full House; Stephanie Tanner. Like it says it's a feminine form of Stephen, which comes from a Greek word meaning "crown." I've always liked boy names for girls.-- Tbird 6/30/2005
I think it's an absolutly wicked name and so pleased my mum called me that! It's nice to be unique although it's irritating being called Stephen in the register!-- Anonymous User 7/6/2005
I used to hate my name, Stephanie, until I heard the Velvet Underground's song--"Stephanie Says".-- fab5 7/22/2005
I agree. Stephanie Says is a wonderful song and I really like my name. My nickname is Wef, and that's what most people call me, I'm not sure why, but I'm fine with it!-- wefrox 5/28/2006
Stephanie is my name, and it's an alright name to have. Mostly I find it kind of boring. It doesn't have much of a meaning and is very popular. I once had five girls in a 22 person class with the same name as me, which led to confusion and embarassment. The teacher ended up calling some of them by nicknames and calling me by my last name, which I always found vaguely insulting. On top of that a lot of school paperwork had me down as Stephan, and I'd get called it during role, which meant more awkwardness. I think the name is pretty enough, but wish I'd been called something more unique.-- Anonymous User 7/26/2005
I have always liked my name, growing up I was the only person in school (both primary and secondary). Friends call me Steph which is cool by me, but I find it really rude when strangers asume it's ok to shorten your name without asking. I like it when people ask to spell your name. It means it's not common or over used.-- spudlove 10/27/2005
I believe the name means flower garland worn in the hair.-- spudlove 10/27/2005
After reading these comments that everyone left on the name Stephanie I have to disagree with ALMOST everyone. I love this name. I was named after my aunt who died when she was 2 of heart failure. This name has very special meaning to me. I have to agree with Fab5, I also love the song Stephanie Says. I think that everyone with the name Stephanie should stop and think how unique you could make your nickname that could come out of Stephanie. Instead of complaining to all the people on this website how the name Stephanie is stupid and common. Make something out of it as your nickname.-- fuddfudd123 11/15/2005
I know a couple people named Stephanie and I don't think it's such a bad name. It's kind of pretty!-- cowgirl 12/19/2005
This is my name and I absolutely hate it. It's way too common and I hate the way it sounds. I think the only reason why I was named Stephanie is because my dad's name is Stephen. I don't think my mom even likes it because she calls me Tiffany instead.-- Anonymous User 1/5/2006
My name is Stephanie and I like the name except for the fact that there are so many Stephanies at my school that when my name is called I end up ignoring it half the time because it's always someone else. I'm usually called Steph or Stephanie and I'm fine with that, but I get on to people when they call me Stephy.-- BloodyRose 1/25/2006
My name is Stephanie, and I like it very much. It's unique and has a lot of history behind it.-- Anonymous User 1/25/2006
On the Saddle Club, one of the charaters' name is Stephanie but she grew up with brothers so she goes by Stevie.-- Anonymous User 1/31/2006
Stephanie is a common name. My friends usually just call me Stevie because it isn't used as much.-- Anonymous User 2/4/2006
Stephanie is a beautiful name, its meaning is crown. It is a special name and not one that you hear too often. I think the worst thing that happens to this elegant name is that it is misspelled quite often. Whatever your name may be you should be proud and carry it well, after all your parent(s) with great love named you. I am honored to carry this name.-- Agape_45 2/7/2006
I love this name. It flows. The letters are not to sharp. They are soft. This name rocks!-- runninshoes1935 2/9/2006
I like this name! It's absolutely beautiful!-- Anonymous User 3/16/2006
A famous bearer is Stephanie Gatchet, who plays Tammy Winslow on "Guiding Light".-- Anonymous User 4/5/2006
Stephanie is a pretty name, elegant and regal. Definitely has been a very popular name but it is no wonder why.-- Anonymous User 4/25/2006
It rocks.-- StephiWeffi 6/1/2006
I like this name! But I had bad experiences with girls with this name. But that's not going to change my view of this name. It sounds beautiful and sophisticated, it's just that there are some wrong bearers.-- Anonymous User 6/16/2006
It can also be spelled Stephenie like the author of the book Twilight.-- sarah11 8/9/2006

I've got 2 friends named Stephanie. It's a bit too popular for my liking.-- xKatiex 9/24/2006
I absolutely hate it! My name is evil and horrible! It is plain, common, long, and stupid! I want to murder my mother for giving me this extremely horrible and stupid name!-- Holdmecloser2u13 10/5/2006
It's pretty, but too typical.-- Anonymous User 11/22/2006
No offense, but I find Stephanie a VERY ugly name.-- Anonymous User 12/2/2006
My best friend's name is Stephanie. I like the name's meaning. When I think of her and her name I see a picture of a queen with a crown that's tipped.-- JenN 12/23/2006
Stephanie Plum is the head character of the novels by Janet Evanovich. My sister's name is Stephanie and she actually resembles the one in the book. It's an okay name, but my sister is called Steffie and personally I find that a bit childish. But, ever tried to get rid of a nickname?!-- Amaryllis Isis 1/17/2007
Stephanotis is a small, delicate, trumpet-shaped white flower, very popular in bridal bouquets.-- elizabeth hamlet 1/22/2007
I like my name, Stephanie. Growing up in the 70's-80's, I knew no-one with the same name. Finally, as a senior in high school, a freshman came with the same name. It was not overused or popular back then. It was unique, and I'm happy to have it. I also like the nickname, Steph, but my closest friends and family call me Stephie or Steph Ann.-- audemdom 2/5/2007
This name is getting really common, though it is pretty. "Steph" is a good nickname, but if you want your nickname to be unique, "Stevie" would work. It is not too masculine and very few Stephanies have it.-- CharlieRob 5/9/2007
This is my name and I like it a lot. There's a couple girls in my school called Stephanie, but I don't really mind. It's the name my parents gave me and I am proud of it.-- Foof 6/8/2007
I think this name is just boring! It's not very interesting!-- Anonymous User 6/10/2007
I love the name Stephanie. Probably because one of my favourite actresses is Stephanie Beacham.-- RachelLouise 6/19/2007
This is my name, and I didn't really like it until recently. This name is REALLY popular, but I've only met two other people with this name!-- Anonymous User 6/27/2007
When I was younger (1970's), I hated the name as I was the only one with it. As I have gotten older it has gained popularity and is now commonplace. My friends call me Steppy or SteppyAnn (Ann is my middle name) and I like these nicknames just fine. I used to have a teacher who did not know how to shorten the name and wrote STEP on all my papers. Weird!-- Anonymous User 8/6/2007
I'm shocked to read that so many people hate my name. I really do love it, even if it is very common. I honestly was never too fond of my name, mainly because it was so common -- there was always one other person with my name. Today, I'm acquainted with several other girls who share my name. However, I've grown to love my name. I think it's pretty, simple, elegant and lovely. There's nothing harsh about its sound, and I love its meaning. Can you get any better than "regal" or "crown?" Talk about forcing people to treat you like the royalty you always knew you were. I'm kidding, of course, but I do enjoy the meaning.
And I personally prefer being called Steph, though some close to me like to call me Anie (pronounced "AHN-ee"), which I don't mind at all. It's unique, and it's got a pretty sound to it.-- stillunwritten 9/21/2007
Since Stephan means Crown, CORONA is the meaning for Stephanie. CROWN etymology references BEND, or Curve. This is a good name if you want your daughter to have that bendy hourglass figure.-- jaydubyo 10/5/2007
STEPHANOTIS is a woodvine that BENDS/Curves around a tree.-- jaydubyo 10/5/2007
It's alright, I guess. My name, actually. I find I meet a lot of other Stephanies and it kind of bothers me (it was in the top ten when I was born, so there's a LOT.) And in conjunction with my other names, it's really long. My full name is 26 letters long.
I almost always use 'Steph' instead - 'ie' names always sound so ultra-feminine to me, and I'm not. I've heard 'Stevie' used as a pet name, too.-- skid 11/15/2007
This is my name. I always hated it, I guess being called Step-on-me was enough to ruin it for me.-- Anonymous User 1/5/2008
A famous bearer is American stage actress Stephanie J. Block (born September 19, 1972). She is best known for playing the role of Elphaba in the US tour production of the stage musical 'Wicked' from 2005 to 2006, also playing the role on Broadway from 2007 to 2008. She had previously appeared in the show's pre-Broadway tryout ensemble cast, and was the understudy of original Elphaba Idina Menzel. Her other credits include 'Damn Yankees,' 'Funny Girl,' 'Fiddler on the Roof,' 'Oliver!,' 'Godspell,' and 'The Boy from Oz.'-- AndrewJKD 4/9/2008
A famous bearer is American actress Stephanie Zimbalist (born October 8, 1956). She is best known for her role as Laura Holt on 'Remington Steele' from 1982 to 1987.-- AndrewJKD 4/11/2008
I don't really like this name. It sounds a bit ''serious'' and stuck up, even if the people named this aren't like that. It's not a pretty name. I much prefer variants like Stefania. You can't get any decent nicknames out of this name either. I hate Steph and dislike Stevie, which sounds like the nickname of a little boy named Steve.-- slight night shiver 5/7/2008
This is my name, and I think it's very pretty! I didn't like it much when I was little, but I've grown to really love it. It's something you can grow up with- when you're little, your family and friends can call you 'Steph' or 'Stephy', and when you're older, and you want to be taken seriously, Stephanie is perfect. Stephanie Ann- quite lovely.-- Anonymous User 7/19/2008
This is my first name, and I like it just fine. It wasn't at all popular where I was born (in the South of England) and growing up I only knew one other girl with this name. Also lends itself to a bunch of nicknames. :D Most people call me Stephy, which I think is fairly cute.
I was named, incidentally, after Stevie Nicks, from Fleetwood Mac. ;) My dad was a fan.-- vindemiatrix 8/28/2008
My older sister is named Stephanie! It's a gorgeous name and it really suits her well although most people call her Steph.-- chocomilk 8/29/2008
Stephanie Rice is an Australian swimmer who won three gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She won gold in the 400m individual medley, the 200m individual medley and the 4x100m freestyle relay.-- Miracle1980Olympics 9/24/2008
I don't know how you could dislike this name! It's so pretty! I love saying it, too!-- annamarie941408 12/1/2008
Pretty name with a nice meaning. The only downside is it rhymes with step-on-me.-- the_judge 12/4/2008
Horrid, horrid name. It's just ugly.-- CassandraNightingale 12/6/2008
This is a pretty name.-- britto08 3/18/2009
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Stevie Nicks yet. Her full name is Stephanie Lynn Nicks, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac.-- cielo 3/30/2009
Why all the hate for this name?! My best friend is named Stephanie, I think it's a rather nice name. Not snobby like Elizabeth or Victoria, and not commonplace like Jennifer and Rachel.-- emonessex 4/30/2009
This is also a Greek name.-- deatheater1408 5/26/2009
Stephanie is my name and I like it well enough, it's just that I wish my parents would've stuck to their guns and named me Holly, like they were going to. Then again, the name Stephanie can go through many stages. For example: until I was about 7 years old, people called me Stephy [which is a cute little name.] Then until I was about 10 years old, people called me Steph [which is a more mature form than Stephy, but not quite Stephanie.] Finally, now that I am 14 years old, people call me Stephanie [which shows that I'm 'mature enough' to not have cute little nicknames, although, I wouldn't completely object to having a nickname now.] Just goes to show how much a name can say about a person's maturity. ^_^-- Aya2013 7/5/2009
I went to high school with a girl named Stephanie, but we all called her Stevie. (She'd always tell new people, "Call me Stevie, like Stevie Knicks.") Anyway, I've always liked the way the name sounds, but I prefer the spelling Stephany, actually.-- erb816 7/25/2009
Lady Gaga's real name is Stephanie, only she spells it Stefani.-- bananarama 8/1/2009
AWFUL name! This name absolutely screams "Hi, I'm a shallow stupid little twit! Teeheehee!" The only name that's worse is Tiffany, but this one comes REALLY close. If you name your daughter this, you're basically asking the world to dismiss her as a silly little girl and never take her seriously as a strong, intelligent woman.-- Anonymous User 8/18/2009
This is one of the worst names I've ever heard! It's so ugly!-- Anonymous User 8/28/2009
I think this name is adorable. :)-- silly_rabbit 9/26/2009
It's a pretty name, but Stephenie Meyer kinda ruined it for me. I'll always have Stephenie Tanner though!-- Jezzie80s 11/7/2009
Comments for STÉPHANIE:
I think it's a normal name, nothing special.-- Anonymous User 6/20/2005
You also can pronounce it Stef-an-ee. Also I think it is a wonderful name as not too many people have it and it is just a really intriguing name! Also my sister is called Stephanie!-- Lasha16 7/17/2005
Name: Stephanie
Origin: Greek

Princess Stephanie of Monaco, born Stephanie Marie Elisabeth Grimaldi.-- Anonymous User 9/21/2006
This is my name and I've never liked it because it's painfully common. In all my classes there are always at least two Stéphanies and last year, I even had a teacher that was called like that too! The only thing that I like about it is its meaning (crowned). Still, I find it quite unintellectual and youthful; I can't picture myself when I'll be 80, still stuck with that name!-- canaralorange 1/15/2007
