I like both
Stephen (for
Stephen Stills and St.
Stephen) and
Steven (for my Uncle Steve)--and as of late the
Steven spelling has won out for me.
Steven James sounds fantastic to me (and not just because that's my uncle's name), personally. Other
Steve combos:
Steven Richard,
Steven Lars,
Steven Micah,
Steven Lewis,
Steven Andrew,
Steven Samuel,
Steven Luke.
Steve is a very nice, snappy nickname. It sounds very manly and hard-working to me--like the kind of guy who can overcome anything. Stevo is another fun one, though it's a bit too
SLC Punk for me.
I also like
Stefan (STEH-fan), but I doubt I'd use it.
