When you picked out the perfect name for your baby, you might have stopped for a second to think about the nickname, too. Part of the allure of coming up with a name is also thinking of ways you can shorten it – like Maggie for Margaret or Joe for Joseph. What are baby nicknames for Stephanie, though?
More times than not, parents end up giving pet names that have nothing to do with the name of the baby. When you’re sweet-talking to your baby, for example, you might start saying stuff like “My sweet bunny!” and have Bunny be the only one she responds to.
Duchess Meghan Markle recently revealed she calls her baby Bubba – why wouldn’t you come up with a darling term of endearment for your bundle of cuddles, too? We’ve prepared quite a treat for moms who have settled on the name Stephanie – there are a bunch of baby nicknames to choose from.
What does the name Stephanie mean?
Before we dabble with nicknames, though, we want to congratulate you on picking out the perfect name for your baby. Stephanie means “crown” and we’re sure she’s going to be everyone’s favorite princess from now on! As a matter of fact, Stephanie is a popular name among royalty.
The current-day princess of Monaco embodies the name, and we can’t forget about the 11th-century queen of Navarre, either.
Not to mention that your baby Stephanie might grow up to become the next sports star such as Steffi (Stefanie) Graff, a famous writer such as Stephenie Meyer (the writer of the Twilight books), or a pop star such as Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga).
Whichever way you decide to write your baby’s name, all variations carry the same strong message of success, strength, and power. Or you can even experiment with other names that mean “crown,” like Etienne, Kayla, and Tiara.
At the end of the day, the nickname you choose for your baby doesn’t even have to be related to her name.
What to do when trying to pick out the perfect nickname for your baby Stephanie
Now, here’s the thing with nicknames.
While some parents adore the thought of shortening their baby’s name, sweet-talking to their baby, and referring to their baby by something that reminds them of her – others don’t. We’re pretty sure that some parents hate nicknames so much that they demand everyone to address the baby by her name.
But, we assume you’re not one of them considering the fact you’re on the hunt for baby nicknames for Stephanie. Whether you’re already thinking of nicknames you like or you’re completely clueless about how parents come up with them, we’ve got your back.
Right off the bat, slight changes to the name are the best way to go. Whether you shorten the name, add a few letters, or play with it to come up with a twist, everybody’s going to understand what you’re doing.
Or you can come up with a nickname that combines your baby’s name with her appearance or personality. That way you end up with something a little more meaningful than Steffie.
On top of that, you can’t go wrong with cute and catchy nicknames such as “Baby Bear” or “Bunny” that don’t have anything to do with your baby’s name. Without further ado, we present you a rundown on nicknames guaranteed to get you closer to the perfect pet name for your little one.
