ArchivesRe: Steven
in reply to a message by Anneza
I would say overall Stephen is the usual form in England but I think that back in the 1960s and 70s Steven may have become been more popular. Both spellings were popular then. I know of loads of Steves in their 20s, 30s and 40s. These days I think both forms are considered dated.
American names have influenced names in Britain long before the internet - names from TV and films have had an impact for many years. I've never come across a Barbra other than Barbra Streisand and by the time she became famous the name had gone out of fashion but I'm sure there are some around in the UK. I don't think the name Randy is ever used in Britain!
