Steven for a baby

whoisit · October 2012

My mom said Steven sounds too old for a baby name. Do you think Steven is okay for a baby name?

Go for it. Babies aren't babies forever.

It was in my top three names for DS, but we went with another name because I had dated a Stephen for a while before DH, and it just seemed weird.

All adult Stevens/Stephens were once babies!

This. They didn't pop out as 40-year-old men with ties and briefcases.

Every Steven I know was a baby once.

I love the name Steven! It's a good, strong name and not one of these girly little boy names. I especially like it with the V and not the PH.

It doesn't sound like a baby name, but like others have said- they won't be a baby forever!

Some people get too caught up in naming a baby/child and forget they are also naming a young professional, a middle-aged man, and a grandfather. Steven will suit him nicely throughout his life.

I don't particularly care for the name, but I agree he will grow into the name.

I completely agree with this.

Personally, I'm completely biased, but I think that Steven is great. DH is a Steven, but goes by Steve. Do what you think is right, not your Mom. It is your baby, yes it's her grandchild, but it's your right to name LO what you want.
