[Opinions] Stephen/Steven
What do you think of this name? Do you prefer one spelling over the other? It would be used to honor both my uncle (Steven) and my husband's uncle (Stephen)... If spelled Stephen (but pronounced STEEV-en) what would you think of the nn Steve? Middle name suggestions?

I like the name Stephen as a middle name.
"Never make someone a priority, who only makes you an option."

I prefer Steven, because it's less confusing. I always used to think Stephen was pronounced "STEH-fan", and I still read it like that, sometimes. Saying that, my dad and friend are both called Steven, so I'm somewhat biased. ;-)
I'm not mad on the name, to be honest. I'd probably use it as a MN. I like the nn Steve, though. Or "Stee", or "Stuh", as I call my friend. ^ ^
Some MN suggestions:
Steven Francis
Steven Jack
Steven Andrew

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.

I prefer the spelling with a V because of the unambiguous pronunciation. But I'm used to Stephen too - that was my neighbor's name when I was growing up. I'm biased about liking Steven nn Steve because there's one in my family. Steve is one of those super-butch one-syllable names, you know? I'd only be concerned about the "date" on it. There were tons of Steves named 30-40 years ago, it seems to me. But a simple masculine name like that would not suffer much from dating.
MNs - William, James, Isaac, Thomas, Roger, Michael?

It's okay, it's not really my style but it has a nice meaning and a fairly good history and it's not used very often.
The thing I hate about the name Stephan is that it's always shortened to Steve or Stevie! I just don't like that very much.
Stephans I know:
Stephan Edward
Stephan Earl
Stephan Robert
Stephan Charles
For middle names what about:
Stephan Nicholas
Stephan James
Stephan Gregory
Stephan Elijah
Stephan Peter
Stephan Kyle
Bunny, Gigi, Chloris, Wilma, Darleen, Eartha
