Steven, that perennial favorite, has finally decided to take a breather and step down from the top for a bit. The (barely) shorter form of the name,
Steve, has become one of those "All-American" names like
Joe and
Bob that parents no longer seem to think is cool, opting for fresher-sounding names like
Aiden instead. And if you're looking for a name with good namesakes, Steven's your man, with prolific directors, entreprenuers and Noble-prize winners all sharing the moniker.
