naming your child stevie sara rhiannon

hi everyone.. hope you're all well and happy

i was just browsing another stevie site and some posts made me think... would it mess up a kid to be named Stephanie Lynn or Stevie Rhiannon Belladonna or another SN-inspired name (SN, perhaps)?

It's one thing to call your cat Sara Belladonna Stevie II but would you call your child something Stevie related? Or, if you already did or are yourself named after a famous person your parents loved, does it feel wierd?

I named my daughter Sara, and it's not weird at all to me. Hell, I tried to name her Rhiannon, but my hubby wouldn't have it.

I think it's kinda nice. Sara and Rhiannon are beautiful names in their own right, plus it's lovely to have a song with your name in it too

I have two songs I love with my name: Song For Sharon by Joni Mitchell and My Sharona (hehe) by The Knack.

I'm glad I went with Sara, because, it is still to this day, my most favorite song ever.

But I sure tried for Sara Rhiannon....

Sara is not an unusual name though.. I meant names that would make other people go.. "ah, did your parents like stevie nicks by any chance?".. eg. belladonna rhiannon crystal vision silver springs buckingham nicks (i am exagerating a little)

I'm not opposed to the practice at all (i would call a daughter stevie, absolutely, as it is a lovely name).

I myself am named (so they say) after melanie safka... 60s folk singer.

I love Sara too

and have considered naming a girl that name if I ever have one.

I wanted to name my daughter Rhiannon but I was very strongly vetoed

Everyone said they wouldn't call her that, so why bother? 3 years later I STILL wish I would have gone for it anyways!

Not my kid. I already have a few names picked out in the event that I ever procreate (what a thought...).

That stinks. I know a couple of people named Rhiannon and I think it's a pretty name. But those who don't like it REALLY dislike it, bastards.

my last name is nichols & my hubby & i made a pact, boy he names the baby, girl i name her, if my son were a girl he woulda been stevie lynn nichols~ since he was a boy my son picked dylan after bob dylan~

My cats name is Belladonna. I dont think I would name my daughter after a stevie song. There are too many other names I have chosen that i would like better

.. but if I did, it would be 'Belladonna' but of course that name is already spoken for by the cat !

amber · #13 03-22-2005, 08:37 PM

Y'all could name your kids Amber....

I don't like any of the stevie names except Rhiannon, so...I might choose it for a middle name, but probably not..it's awful pretty, though.

I named my daughter Sierra Stefani Rose - the Stefani is after Stevie but I changed the spelling. I thought it would be a bit much to name her first name after her. I have a lot of nicknames for her, but one is Stevie Rose (which she hates). When I was younger I thought of naming a girl Shadow Lace (gag!)

Don't worry, girl, when I was younger I wanted to name mine "Scarlett Sylven"

I love the name sierra, and sierra stefanie rose is beautiful.
