Are people named Steve stereotypically weird/creepy/etc?

[HamburgerBoy]

Because multiple people have mistaken me for a Steve, and reading that Monopoly thread about "weird Uncle Steve" and other vague anecdotes, I fear that I may actually look/act like a Steve.

What do you think of when you think of the average/typical Steve?

I've known some Steve's. One lives on the same floor as me. He's a bit of a weirdo for sure. I don't mind him though. He seems like he has good intentions.

Strangely I don't know that many, but they all seemed normal enough. My best friend in middle school was a Steve, but then he was too cool for me.

The Steve I knew growing up...
His parents abused him in many ways. So then he'd go on to bully everyone smaller than him.
He had an established record by 16. Was also later found out he molested his younger sister for years, as well as many other children. He disappeared off behind bars last I heard of him.

I've known a few Steves, I wouldn't describe any of them as weird.

Steve is more boring, and generic to me. That's the kind of name that can disappear in a room.

That's what I used to think. But that's also what I used to think about Fred.

 

[ArizonaSteve]

No.

 

[HAL9000]

Steve Jobs...

No.

Steve Ballmer...

Yes.

 

[BoomerD]

No, but every single "Brandon" I've ever known was a worthless POS.

It's the Steven's or especially the Stephen's that you really need to watch out for

Creepos

I knew a guy named Steve, once....once.

 

[ussfletcher]

Yes.

 

[SlowSpyder]

I'm doomed.

 

[novasatori]

I have a ph so I dodged this one

 

[Dominato3r]

Stephens = baddies

I was going to ask if there was a perceived difference between "v"'s and "ph"'s. I know many of both.

All people are weird, so I guess it does not matter what they are named.

Used to work with a guy we called Surly Steve, due to his perpetual foul mood. Felt for the guy though. In his 40s, got laid off as a pipe fitter during the recession and was trying to support his family jockeying cars for $24k/yr.

 

[Leros]

I know two guys named Steve. Both have creepy facial hair and are kinda weird.

Every one of them that I've known have been.
