Hello all,
I'm having a boy in November, and husband and I are at a loss as to what to call him. He wants Richard, I want Stephen. Which one do you all prefer? Thanks so much!

They pair nicely together. It sounds better to my ear if Richard is the first name. Richard Stephen. Looks pretty nice too. 😎👍

Richard and Stephen are both very 80's, are you sure??? Richard could be Dick or Dicky, Stephen will likely be Steve. Probably best to decide based on the nicknames.

Two syllable names like Stephen and Richard do not need to be shortened at all! They're lovely as they are.
