I personally love this name because of Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks couldn't say "Stephanie" (her real name) as a child so she just shortened it to "Stevie".
On the Saddle Club, one of the charater's name is Stephanie but she grew up with brothers so she goes by Stevie.

My name is Stevie. I love it! And Stevie is my name, it's not my nickname, although that's mostly how I use it. To me Stephanie is too girly and popular. And I hate being called Steph.
I love the name Stevie for a girl. I like Stephanie, but I really don't like the nickname Steph, so I think Stevie is a great alternative. It still sounds girly to me, actually I have trouble picturing a man called Stevie.
I love Stevie as a nickname for Stephanie (can't stand Steph). I think it's spunky and a little different. Plus, my father's name was Steve and I'm a huge Stevie Nicks fan (thanks to my mother who nearly named me Rhiannon).
My name is Stephanie, and I personally hate the nickname Stevie for this name. I'd never even heard of that. Sounds way to little-boy/masculine, and even on a girl I just see a tomboy girl aged 7-11 or something. Definitely not something I'd ever want to be called.
My name's Stevie-Jo, I used to hate my name but as I've grown older I've come to love it and if a girl named this feels it's too boyish or masculine she can always go by Eve or Evie as I did for part of my childhood.
Despite some of the negative comments about this name being "too masculine for a girl's name" and such, I would definitely name my future daughter this as a tribute to Stevie Nicks (yes, I am a HUGE Fleetwood Mac fan) and if she didn't like it or if she was girly and wanted a more girly name, she could go by Eve or Evie like one of the above comments said.
My name is Stevie and my middle name is Nicole (Nicks was too masculine apparently). My mom's father was an incredible Stevie Nicks fan, so I was named after her. I had short hair when I was younger, so people definitely thought I was a boy, so it was hard. But it's unique and I'm growing to like it!
