Steven

1. A male given name from Ancient Greek, variant of Stephen.
   • 1989, Ann Beattie, Picturing Will, Random House., →ISBN, page 67:

     His first name was probably Steve or Ed. No, there were no more Steves or Eds in New York. They were now Steven or Edward, whether they were gay or straight. If they had money, they didn't have a nickname. Everybody was into high seriousness, so that now even dogs were named Humphrey and Raphael.
