My son has a name that is easy to say and spell as well but isnt one that was super common, I want to say it might have been 200 when he was born. In his class this year there is another one! For the first time ever! We've never met another on a sports team or even that I know of in other classes until now. He is 10. It bothers
me more than I expected it to, I think he and this boy
are the only duplicates and while it's not a rare name, I
was really happy until now that it was his and no one elses in our circle! So you just can't tell what youe surroundings will give you.

Yes, Evelyn is popular right now, but I don't think people shorten Evelyn to Eve, because they're different vowel sounds. Same with Evangeline (which isn't very popular to begin with.)
Naming is so much more varied now than when we were kids. Even names in the top 10 aren't repeated as often as you'd think.

I hope this is sarcasm. It made me laugh.
1. I know two girls named Stevie
2. Obviously you found room for variation with Steve and Leave
OP it's a great name; classic and beautiful. Go for it.
