The story of Stevon
The account of the stoning is short and specific, and it includes a throwaway line: the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul, who approved of the killing. That young man is the Paul whose letters make up a large part of the New Testament and who spends a good deal of them referring back to his own record as a persecutor. The narrative technique is remarkable for its date: a minor figure is planted at the edge of a scene, unexplained, and becomes the central character of everything that follows. Whether the placing is historical or literary has been argued for centuries.

Fashion outlook
Stevon sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
