About Steve
Some parents just use Steve on the birth certificate, but it doesn't have the breezy charm of trendy short forms like Max, Sam, and Jake. Regardless of how much you love Steve as a given name, it might be smart to give your son a longer option to fall back on.
Steve is also given to girls.
Pronounced STEEV.
As of October 2026, Steve ranked #16288 in US births in 1998 SSA, peaked at #1863 in 1957.
