The popularity chart lists Stefan as being pretty much at the bottom of the Top 1000 Male Names in America, but I'm seeing more and more boys being named Stefan! Must be mainly in my area.
Anyway, I think Stefan is a wonderful name. I've actually always liked the nickname Stef/Steph more for a boy than a girl.
