Stevi Nicks???????????
I'm sure someone has an explanation for this.
I'm listening to my BN LP the other day, looking inside and notice that SN is listed as Sevi Nicks. Is this a typo, did Stevie add the second "e" later, or what |

Well, I have no idea about this, but her actual Name is Stephanie, so I guess she could spell it however she wanted anytime, and no one could really say anything besides the fact that we all associate her with 'Stevie.' I sometimes spell it 'Stevi' on my facebook and such, just for fun

I'm more confused by the way YOU are spelling it.

Oh, in Bob Aguirre's Q&A his response was that it was "probably a record company executive's decision" but he didn't actually specify if it was their decision to spell it "Stevi" or "Stevie". Maybe they thought "Stevi" would make it easy to determine who was actually the girl since they both were using gender neutral names. |

I'm guessing that everyone here
knows that the original title for the album was Buck Naked. |

Still, every time I see her name listed as 'Stevi', I have to force myself to not get a marker and add an E.

That was helpful folks.
Other than maybe one signature, have we seen it ever spelled without the "e" anywhere else? If it was the record company's choice do we know if they mentioned it to her? Can you imagine opening your first album and seeing your name spelled wrong, nickname or not. |

Yeah, that would definitely be pretty harsh.

Maybe they wanted to feminize her by dropping the "e" at the end. This was in 1973--Stevie Wonder was all over the radio. "Stevie" was a man's name.

AND, Steve Winwood was still being referred to as "Stevie" at that point, as well (he didn't drop the "i" until his first solo album in '75.)

Anyways, I always assumed that it was a typo, like how people sometimes spell my name as Cassy |

I have no idea if this has anything to do with this particular "i" vs "ie" (or "y") situation, but I can tell you that I was in third grade that year, and there was this strange fad at the time where all the girls changed to "i". It was so weird, but they all did it. All the Cindy's were now "Cindi", all the Sandy's were now "Sandi"; we even had a Billie who became "Billi". By the following year, the fad was over, and everyone was back to "ie" or "y".
Like I said, I have no idea if this was the situation with Stevi(e) or even if that fad made it out of Connecticut. |

So, if we could only get our hands on Lindsey's 1966 yearbook... "Lindsey, I think you are SOOOO beautiful and look FABULOUS in swim trunks. But, if you ever think of having a band let me know...or just have Bob call me. K.I.T. Stevi..." And she dotted the 'i' with a circle, I bet. |
