So many people didn’t get this puntastic ‘Steven’ gag it took it to a whole new level
Pun of the week surely goes to @NickMotown with this little gem on Twitter.
My friends have named their new baby Steven. That’s an interesting turn of events.

And we mention it not because it was very good – but it was – but because of the huge number of people who replied talking baby names, apparently not seeing the tweet for what it was (full disclosure – took us a while too).
And it made the whole thing even better.
Heard some parents calling their about 4 year old son in the pub the other day. “John! Come here, John.”
Not Jake, or Jack for a change

When will names like Malcolm & Adrian return?

Only a matter of time before there’s a baby Barry

Are these viewed as old names now so therefore making a comeback? It really is true that everything just comes round again.

Elsie is making a comeback. Had no idea so many parents were Elsie Tanner fans. Inexplicable

A girl in work gave birth in November to a little chap called Dean.

But these people knew exactly what was what.
If he was called Stephen it would be an interesting turn of ephents.

To conclude …
All the people in the comments talking baby names instead of recognising this for what it is: a genius pun. https://t.co/3JDFhSuPVA

Last word to @NickMotown.
This was just a silly anagram joke. I do not have any friends with a newborn baby. Or any other friends, come to think of it.
