Lots of Steffens yes, but is that a fair translation though...? It is however pretty funny.
I'd say it was a direct translation - Steven and Stephen are pronounced the same in English.

And yup, that pretty much describes English Steve's too, Steve Davis's knickname is Steve "interesting" Davis (because he isn't), Steve Wilson looks like a Geography teacher who's trying hard to be "hip and down with the kids", Steve Hogarth looks like the head of a Geography department and Steve Howe looks like the retired head of a Geography department.

Voted for my buddy Steve, although the name practically is non existent in Denmark. We do however have a fair deal of humdinger Steves on PA - so here's to HolyMoly and Lazland! The Steves are emerging....
On another note: I gather Steve is like the Danish Peter. Probably deserves an explanation.... The thing is that I#ve never ever in my life come across a man named Peter that wasn't the personification of a stand-up guy. Similarly, the Steves I've met all seem to be sports of a high caliber.
I thought there would have been a lot of Steffen's in Denmark
