Help[Opinions] Re: Stevie, Frankie & Ollie
in reply to a message by Pickles
Stevie.
Basically zero men go by Stevie, IME, save Stevie Wonder, who isn't a Steven. Stevie's more of a gal name, to me. I'd rather Stephie for Stephanie, but Stevie will manage.
Ollie has a sort of vintage feel to it as a gal name, I could deal with it. But I think the only name it makes sense to be based on is Olive, and it's not shorter nor cuter than Olive. So, artificial and nms.
Frankie is a name I never saw on any gal, until that dumb Angelina Jolie character in that rather bad movie ... and I winced.
I was really surprised to learn that calling gals Frankie was ever a thing. But I guess it was.
Why would any gal go by creepy, creaky, forced-seeming Frankie, though, when there's sleek Fran, and France and Francie ... I don't get it.
It's like, why would a guy go by Hank instead of Henry. Or Bertie instead of Rob. nms
