Re: Stephen
in reply to a message by vigdis
I know a Steven Alexander. He goes by Alex. Steven was after his father.
I dislike Stephen and Steven. It's one of my most disliked names. I think of it as very nerdy, as I've known no fewer than four nerdy Stevens. Even the Steven who is the father of Steven Alexander has a nerd factor going, though he's a smart, personable, and likable guy.
I love Alexander and the nickname Alex but they are so overused. Alexander is the perfect example of a name that I love but would not use due to popularity.
And the second cousin thing? Yes, it would bother me.
I like Nathan a lot. I don't think the brother-in-law thing is too big of an obstacle.
