I like
Stephen very much - my friend couldn't decide between
Mark Stephen and
Stephen Mark for her second son, and finally went with
Mark Stephen. But she's always regretted it.
Stephen Alexander is a good combo.
The only problem I can see with
Stephen is
Steven. It might involve a lot of mistakes and a lifetime of spelling it out, but then again, everything gets a wrong spelling sometimes. As for your late cousin, no, that wouldn't be an issue for me. I'd think of it as giving the name a second chance.
Nathan,
Nathaniel and
Natalie are all names that I really can't warm up to at all.
