Steve

My friend's dad is named Steve and he is a very adventurous person and is not dull or boring at all. Also, is no one else thinking Steve Harrington? Because you should.

It's interesting to know this in itself is a name alone. I primarily go by it socially but my formal isn't the "V" variant but the "ph" model which is socialized ambiguously as it should be because the short could be Steve or Steph. https://babynames.net/names/stephen

Steve is a great name, there have been many great Steves in entertainment and music, Steve Harvey, Steve Winwood, Steve Perry, even Stephen Colbert occasionally calls himself “Steve Colbert”. Then of course there’s the great 49ers QB Steve Young. It rolls off the tongue nicely and sounds a bit less formal than Stephen / Steven (which is also a good name). Cool name for a guy. I don’t really see why this name has negative connotations, it seems like some folks think that any name that was popular in the mid 20th century must somehow be boring or irrelevant nowadays.

Very dull.

All the guys I know with this name are arrogant jerks hopped up on steroids, and none of them are under 50.

I like this name mainly because I'm a Steve and so is my dad and his dad. I think this name is pretty nice because it sounds mature, smart, and funny.

When I hear this name, I picture a bald man in his 50s.

Baaaaaaadd associations with this name. Too much baggage for me personally.

Too dull.

Steve reminds me of some 40 something year old man with learning disabilities. The name itself sounds dull and unintelligent. I despise this name.

I think it's a good hiding name for Us bearing the spelling STEPHEN taught to pronounce it 'STEEV-en' because of the other version 'STEF-en' which Me or others don't appreciate. STEPHAN is majority of times pronounced "STEF-an' but I have know some for instances it's pronounced 'STEEV-an'
In Gaelic influenced Britain the 'PH' became voiced like a 'V' because of the other consonant "uni-letter' couples 'BH' and "MH" voicing a "V" sound.

Every time I look at this name I think about Steven Q. Urkel on Family Matters so I don't like it. But I have to admit it's a very good name but if you have twins don't name them Adam and Steve. They are going to be picked on for the rest of their lives.

Personally, I think that "Steve" ("Steven") needs to make a rebirth.
It is widely viewed as a name suited for men who have passed the 40-year line... but what people do not see, is the utterly endearing nature it plays when placed on a young child or a teenager male. It has plenty of room to grow; it is professional, it is attractive.

Such a splendid refreshment.

The name sounds like someone that is from the 60's. I like the feel to the name.

I'm sorry to all those out there named Steve but I don't like it. I think it's partly because every Steve I have met so far is a total jerk.
