Stephanie is definitely dated but a lovely name and I wouldn't mind being a
Stephanie.
Steph seems like the obvious nickname, and I used to hate
Stevie, but I came across a fictional character who made me warm to it on a girl. It's cute in a tomboy way.
Samuel is a great name and
Sammy and
Stevie is adorable, although I get the feeling they might want to change their nicknames to something less cutesy or use their full names when they're older. Or maybe not! I don't know.
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
-
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
