Is Steven/Stephen/Steve a boring name?

It's FIL's name, DH's middle that he picked at age 3. (Because sister had a middle name and he wanted one too.)

I hate it. It's boring to me. I considered Step as a nn. (Like Trip?) But that was too close to strep. I hate the name Steve. The only thing I like about Steve as a nn is the guy from Sex In the City.

WDYT?

Not a fan of Steve, but Stephen is nice.

Not a fan, but it's not a "bad" name. If it has special meaning, can you use it a middle name?

I like Stephen.

I like Steven/Stephen. I think it's refreshing.

Not boring, but maybe dated sounding.

I like Stefan or Stefano, though.

I find it boring-ish too.  DH's middle name (and his father's mn) is Stephen and we decided not to continue the tradition because we just didn't like the name.

I'm not big on Steve, but I adore Stephen.

Maybe as a mn? It's just nms. I like Stephan though.

Sorry, but yes, I think it is very boring.

I think it's a perfectly fine name. My thesis advisor was Steve, I dated a Steve, Stephen Colbert is awesome.

It's a MN. I wouldn't make a big deal about it unless I hated it as a FN. But that's just me.

I like the name Steven. I hate Step as a nickname like you suggested though. If you don't like it though, don't use it!

Kind of boring, but perfectly fine name.
