Help[Opinions] Steven/Stephen
To be honest, I really dislike this name. It's one of my least-liked old, established, classic names ever, along with David. I associate it with nerdiness, because I knew an extremely geeky, nerdy Steven, and two other Stevens who were borderline nerdy and geeky. Even without that association, however, I think I would dislike it, just based upon the way it sounds.
But of the two spellings, I much prefer Stephen. Here in the U.S., it seems Steven is much more common.
Edited to add: I just thought of another very geeky, nerdy Steven I knew in high school, just as bad as the first Steven I mentioned. Make that two very nerdy Stevens and two borderline Stevens. No wonder I can't get the nerd image out of my head.
Do you like Steven/Stephen? And which spelling do you prefer?
