Stephen or Steven

[jellymousse]

Which spelling would you use and is it about due a revival? Dh likes this a lot.

Stephen is the irish catholic in me's first choice but I believe Steven is the more popular, I like both.

I prefer the 'ph' spelling. dh is a Stephen.

My Stephen os obviously a ph

I don't think it matters. They're both established spellings. Also Steve is always spely Steve.

sorry ,is a ph

I don't like the name but I think Stephen looks much nicer.

Stephen seems somehow a bit classier than Steven to me... like the Sean/Shaun thing.

Stephen is nicer.

another one who prefers stephen

Stephen has a much nicer "look" to it. Stephen Fry, for example, or Stephen Hawking, Stephen King

Stephen is the original spelling I believe, and my dh's name! I love it, and dh has always liked his name.

Stephen. Nice name

Stephen.
