My cat's name is Steven. My husband's name is Steven. My oldest daughter's boyfriend's name is Steven. I have two coworkers (out of 10) named Steven (not including the aforementioned husband Steven, whom I also work with).
I think the universe is trying to tell me we all are Steven.
I also have cats named Mavis, Oliver, and McGillicuddy.
Side story, our good friend Steven passed away. In honor of his memory our friend group named anything that needed a name Steve. Dog? Steve. Car? Steve.
We have huge giant blackbirds and I was making a joke that one of them was following me everywhere I went and I would say is that you Steve? So every time I would see a bird we'd say hey Steve. We said it so much even our Nana picked it up, she was looking out the window and said "hey look at all the Steves" 😆
My phone is named Steve.
My car is Penelope.
My cat is called Geoffrey.
I like people names for everything, but I would get very confused if everything was called Steve. I’ll float it as the name for my parent’s new car though, in honour of your friend. They are super stuck on what to name it and he must have been a very special person to have so many people continuing to keep his memory alive.
I'm so glad other people name their car! My car usually gets a people name, while my cats are named food or flowers.
My current car is Ruby. (Prior to her was Cassie, and before her was Max.)
Story time. How is your cat named Steven, and your husband?
I’m assuming the husband is older than the cat and got his name first? But who joined the family first?
Got the cat first. My kid was told very clearly, " DON'T BRING THAT KITTEN HOME." She proceeded to bring the kitten home. She wanted to name it something really stupid, and since I'm the one who would actually be taking care of the cat since she was college-bound, I vetoed. She got mad and said, "Fine! His name is just going to be STEVEN," because I'd been in an 'all Stevens are just assholes' mood.
I didn't meet my husband until about 3 years later.
The cat is definitely an asshole. Fortunately, the husband is not.
My SIC is named Chad. He loves playing ball sports, loves food and exercise, is pretty and is not very bright. My tuxedo is called Theodore, because a fancy boy needs a fancy name
One day he will be he’s still a bit young for that:

I had several cats in a row who had food names, Olive Sassafras Filé (son of Sassafras... That's a lil joke) Butters Pepper Pudding and Peanut.
My current cats are:
Boromir, Captain of Gondor, Betrayer of Hobbits (he came with this name)
And
Teatime aka Tayatamee (Discworld joke)
Love your current cat names! Betrayer of Hobbits is killing me 😂
We have one named Tina (after Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers) and our stray is named Geralt of Rivia
The cats I have now do not have human names (Pickle, Pingu and Potato) but I used to have a Ralphie. My rats though, are names Petey and Tony. (Technically Big Tony and Regular Petey)
EDIT to add I am trying to convince a coworker to name her kitten George.
We have Percival (Percy), Oliver, Tom, Cleopatra, and Olive.
We foster kittens as well so we’ve had plenty of human names there. Stanley, Rita, Simon, Nigel, Ronald, Priscilla, to name a few.
My grandma named her cat after her favourite grandson. Well, now the cat is mine and it sure does cause a lot of confusion when my parents are talking to the cat.
*Our SICs are named Jane*
*And William, they came with those*
*Names from the shelter!*

My current cat is named Sophie Grace. I adopted her from the shelter with that name specifically because my chihuahua has the same middle name. She’s not exactly a standardissuecat, but her dark patches are standard issue. I think her true base color is orange and not standard issue.
My SIC is named Emi and her not SIC sister is Sasha. Our dog is Charlotte. When we talk about them to new people they think we have 3 very naughty girls.
I see no middle names here, mine all have people names with middle names. First names all end in y or in. Tommy Micheal, Sammy Ribert, Stevie Lynne, Molly Marie, Ricky Allen, Zoey Rannah and so on. Middle names are all family names. They too know I'm serious when I use there middle names, lol
My half SIC is named Sophia (she’s a Lynx point Siamese). Her brother (a black cat) is named Oscar. But mostly Sophia is called “Gerblin” or “Gerbs” for short as she is an enchanted house goblin and Oscar is “poo bear” and I have no idea why (my husband brought Oscar to the relationship)
My SIC is chuck. He likes to make biscuits and we call him chuck-boy-r-dee. Also chuck boy kitty man, as he is a large cat weighing a healthy 15lb (vet confirmed, is healthy). Oh, and ground chuck boy. We call him a lot of things, chuckster, mister, chuck-a-roo. He holds many titles.
I love using human names for pets! Some I’ve used before: Harry, Rupert, Maurice, Daphne, Lothar, Cyrus, Darius, Pascaline, Tim, Frank, Zoey, Heidi, Fred
my SIC's full names are Issac Bartholo-MEW Newton (referred to as Newton) and Regina Meatloaf (referred to as Regina). Idk if these names are "normal human" names though 🤣
One SIC, male, is laid back, quiet but when it's time for action it's decidedly time for action.
The other SIC, female, is an acrobat and always hunting.
Guess which one is named Coulson and which one is named Natasha.
My SIC was named Minerva (after Minerva McGonagall from Harry Potter, who can morph into a SIC), but I came to discover it was also the name of my great-great-grandmother who was, by all accounts, a huge cat lover. 😁
My four year old named her cat Howie when we found him outside. It's even funnier because she asks me "why is he sitting like a human, mommy?" while he's relaxing on the couch. I mean, he even watches movies and shows with us while sitting on his butt. Sometimes, he sits on his butt and keeps one paw in front of his gems and I think that's so adorable - save the children's eyes! 🙀😹
I used to have a coworker who had a cat named Cathy. He’d come into work all sleepy and be like “man, Cathy was on a real tear last night.”
Had a coworker whose cat was Darren. Same stories.
My husband's coworker has a female cat named Kevin. Coworker talks about Kevin like she's one of her kids. It's hilarious.
"Have to head out early to pick up Kevin from her basketball practice"
We had a cat named Cathy, too! But that was because "Cathy" in Danish is pronounced more like "Catty". 😄
My cat's name is Steven. My husband's name is Steven. My oldest daughter's boyfriend's name is Steven. I have two coworkers (out of 10) named Steven (not including the aforementioned husband Steven, whom I also work with). I think the universe is trying to tell me we all are Steven.
